(68.3 + ~40 ) = 108.3 W + min. 40w for motherboard = total 148w

No, it cant be 95w from wall, im sorry.
Even a photo wouldn't convince me.

If your riser is taking up 40w then I would recommend you change another brand as it will surely melt any of the power cable. It is taking 60% value of a graphic card.

Not very efficient running at 40w just to power up a riser.

40w in my math is what adaseb wrote 44w, the value in gpu-z is not the real w, its just the gpu, approx you have to add 40-45w to what you see in gpu-z, and that's only the video card.
40-50w for the mobo,hdd with one card idle.
If you have 6 cards on the mobo then it's about 120-130w for the mobo and idle cards.

I do agree that the riser requires juice but 44w for each riser is just rediculous. I am only drawing 20w to 25w for mine. You need to check your source and change manufacture as 44w per riser alone is too high.

I setup my rigs with one card full load was 160w off the wall. Then i added an additional card at the metered showed 240w to 250w and never exceeding 250w. When i added all six my energy on the wall showed 600w to 650w.

That's why I am asking if there is anyone that could produce with a custom strap or bios modification to achieve higher result with the current energy requirement.

I can guarantee you that there is not a single 470/480 out there that uses 25watts of power thru the riser. Any 6 PIN GPU usually uses about 45-70 Watts from the PEG connector.

The only GPU that I measured that used 25watts from the PEG connector was a ASUS 7970 which had 2x8pin slots to get most of its power from.

The Gigabyte G1 uses 44Watts from the PEG
The MSI 470 4GB uses 60 Watts from the PEG
The MSI 370 OC uses 70 Watts from the PEG

PEG = PCIe slot power / riser power
