(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.
