Something crazy is going on with my rig, I just find out that my rig is consuming up to 600 watts power, WTF? Is my motherboard faulty or what? Help!! Here is my configuration
1. CPU 2nd gen i5 non overclock and not using for mining
2. One RX580 undervolt and miner shows 80watts power consumption
3. Two Gtx1660 super at 31mh each, no overclock, @ 81 watts each
That is freaking all, even if my motherboard is eating up to 150 watts what is eating that high watt? OMG 😱😱😱
AMD cards use more watts than reported. Check GPUZ. You have to add a couple of reading for total wattage. It is not using 80 watts. Plus you lose some efficiency with the PSU. What is the capacity of the PSU? It will be more efficient if you are not maxing out the PSU. Also helps if the PSU is efficient - gold or platinum rated.
