I have metered smart switches for each circuit-PDU so the only way I could measure each cord would be to connect to two separate circuits which I'd rather not risk. Otherwise I'd need to measure with my amp-meter with a split cord which I don't have. If I can figure out how to safely do it I'll let you know.

UPDATE: I remembered I had a dual metered PDU that reports amps (in whole numbers) that I don't use that readout anymore. So I tried one of the S17s on that so I could measure each cord separately. It measured exactly 5 amps each on Turbo mode. Exactly being that it only reports round numbers. At my voltage that is around 1150 watts per cord. But I'm sure it is 5.x not just 5 amps. But either way, it seems to balance the load very close between the two cords.

... Turbo should never be used at the moment with current coin prices.

Normal speed should be used at the moment with current coin prices.

But I am sure some can create an example that shows turbo is smart to do at the moment.

I'd like to see your calculation/thinking.

By my profit model turbo mode makes sense currently. But I am working with 5.4 cent electricity so that obviously will make a difference. Simple Cryptocompare shows $8.50/day for Turbo, $7.84/day for Normal, $6.24/day for Low Power mode. So Turbo currently makes the most profit. I have wondered if the extra wear and tear is worth it and for that extra 8% profit and maybe not.

As energy price goes up then it would flip to where normal would win out and then low power mode.
