I also calculated an approximate power draw figure for the DDR4... my original estimate was waay too low (~50W instead of the more correct ~250W).
Based on servethehome's DDR4 power draw tests on a Xeon server that's a more accurate figure.
So to sum up: a most likely conventional VRM supplying 400-450W at full load without cooling... yikes.
