Hi pip I'm running my miners on solar and batteries and I want to lower power draw as much as possible, I've remove two RAM sticks and only have one onboard, any other things I can replace to limit power draw?

Pc config

Dell optiplex 370 with core i5 CPU
1x 4g ram stick
Three 1660 Ti and one rx580

Sell the rx580 at a profit from what you paid for it.

It will save power and instantly put cash in your hands. Use that cash to pay the power bill on the gear.

Hoping you had the rx 580 for a while before it became expensive.
Pay what power bill? I'm running on solar panels and batteries 24/7 sir, I'd rather swap the rx580 for gtx1660 super instead of selling because I've confirmed that gtx1660super runs so peacefully with lower power on my solar setup than rx580
It seems you actually want to keep an extra card, what philipima told you makes lot of sense to me, lesser gpu equals to less power consumptions, changing CPU and RAM won't bring any difference, do like this, sell the rx580 right now and hold your money, in future when you had more solar panel and batteries you can buy more cards
