So I wanted to test this as far as power consumption. I noticed when running it, my cards were much, much hotter. It did not register though with Afterburner. My thought process was it somehow overrode the settings without triggering it somehow. I ran it for a month straight. To my surprise, my electric bill went up over $150. This was the only change that was made. I have 7 cards. 1 EVGA 1080ti, 5 EVGA 1080s and one MSI 1070ti.
