How the hell can you guys mine that high with such a low power consumption ?!

My MSI 580 Gaming X is pulling 28 mh/s + 1100mh/s DCR and it takes around 200watts

Would anyone want to give me an overclocking lesson? I guess it could be very usefull and I could pay for it...

Undervolting the piss out of your card, and balancing how much performance you're willing to give up.

Consider:
1MH/s ETH = 30W
10MH/s DCR = 6W
(obviously these figures change and are dependent on your local electricity prices, but is a good guide)

What this means is that if you sacrifice less than 1MH/s Eth and save 30W, you're profiting. So if you clock down to 1100mhz lets say and dual mine 27mh/s and 1000mh/s DCR, but this lets you drop your core coltage down to 0.8 and you now only pull 150watts, you're profiting (and extending the life of the card)
