The 1x8pin connector will supply up to 196w theoretically. Most of the GPUs are 170-180w with a single 8pin connector on them. The 1070s are extremely low on power consumption compared to most cards. Equihash for example, you'll see about 100w used. You have plenty of room for overclocking if power isnt an issue. Otherwise, lower the TDP and enjoy the cold cards.
