how much of that power actually reaches the chip though? (it's hilarious that this is one chip)? this thing is mostly a water pump - I just can't - everything about it is just wild

Most of it. The water pump and other stuff consumes probably less than 500W total. There's some efficiency loss in the actual power converters, but they're likely designed to be >95% efficient (probably >98%), otherwise cooling them would be a nightmare.
