I’m having fits getting my overclocking settings to load properly on a boot, but that’s for another thread. So yesterday I finally got my rig all dialed in (2 1080ti, 2 1080, 1 1070, 3 1060, 2 580, 1 570) and my power meter says I’m pulling roughly 660 watts from each supply (2 supplies). That got me comfortable enough to order the 12 card today. I check my power meters from time to time as a check to make sure I’m mining. I just checked them and I was pulling 950 Watts per PS! So I remote logged in to the computer and checked the overclock settings. Opened Afterburn from the tray for the nVidias, all checked out fine. Open Sapphire Trixx for the ATIs, all checked fine. Reopened the power monitor and low and behold I’m back down to 660 per PS. The ATIs were the ones causing me power issues, so my hypothesis is that Trixx needs to stay open?
