Branko, any idea, why power consumption of my GPU is higher than yours one, please?
thanks

Thats pretty crazy, I can't think about any other reason but bug in HWinfo, or
AMD driver giving wrong info in either your or my case
Interesting to note that your card has both bigger average fan speed, and whole
7C bigger average temperature...is it GB rx560 Rev1 with 2 fans and additional
PCI-E power conenctor?

It's GV-RX560OC-4GD GPU (not sure is that rev1 or rev2, with 1 fan and no additional power connector):
Adapter  1 (BN=03, DN=00, FN=00, PCIID=00001002, SSID=0000230A)
    Asic Family     :  Polaris11      
    Flash Type      :  GD25Q41B    (512 KB)
    Product Name is :  GV-RX560OC-4GD/F60/0696
    Bios Config File:  RX560O4.F60    
    Bios P/N        :  P/N Not Available
    Bios Version    :  015.050.002.001.000000
    Bios Date is    :  10/31/17 03:57
 

Also, I'm using the latest version of HWinfo and blockchain edition of the amd drivers.
The fan speed is bigger because I use AB software fan control with custom fan speed curve.

PS. Today I'm going to test the strap on another GV-RX560 edition GPU. Will let you know the results later.

That one is rev.2, its worse than rev 1, but interesting that it actually draws more power...maybe
hwinfo actually measures only power drawn over pci-e slot, and don't add power drawn over additional connector?
Although that doesn't make much sense when you look at stronger cards that draw most of power
from additional connectors
