It's kinda a copy or claymore but better in my perspective (more info & faster mh/s).

I used exact the same config for PhoenixMiner as I used for Claymore. I've set the mvddc, cvddc, cclock, memclock to a specific value for each card. I have 6x RX 580 8gb and i've set for every individual card a value.
Claymore was consuming 850W and a hashrate of 181mh/s.
I tried PhoenixMiner 2.9e (exact parameters) and it uses 1200W !!!! I didn't know it was doing that because I used teamviewer. So after like 4 minutes I checked my miner in the basement because the temperature of the cards also increased. And then I saw 1200W for a 1000W PSU..... I immediatly switched the power off.

Now I do have 2 questions:


1. How did it consume 350W more?
2. Did I badly damage my 1000W gold+ PSU?

Thanks
