I think you can decrease your power draw by decreasing the fan speed and reducing the clock and little mclock in MSI burner.
This is only for ethereum mining I never tried any Alternative OS just playing the MSI burner you can down a bit your power draw by 5% if you can decrease your fan speed a little and changing your TDP but expect for a little decrease of the hashrate but it is more efficient compared to pushing your card to high hashrate but paying more electricity bill.

A good read for 1070ti users

seems power draw also depend on brands and of course clocks

If your only mining ETH-hash, for some strange reason with 1070tis?, then you really need to lower your power down to about 110w-115w using SMI. You'd be better off using Windows 10 and NV Inspector. I've gotten my 1070tis as low as 95w mining ETH-hash. Try HiveOS if you just have one rig and want to use Linux. It's free for up to 3 rigs.

Now for the power, the nvidia-smi command reads each card pulling ~ 141W (then x4 total should be 564 W)
Also, you know that nvidia-smi is not 100% accurate right? Its just an estimate.

For comparison my 6x 1070ti, 1x 1050ti (used as video ouput) consumes 960w on average at the wall on win10.

That is because the 755 W is the total your rig is consuming not only the cards. And just for you to know, Linux uses 5% more energy than the Windows OS in mining, yes it is a thing where Linux is behind.
That is the reason why your power meter reads 755 W and I think this is a much normal power consumption in a rig with 4 Gtx 1070 cards.

Linux uses 5% more power consumption?? lol wow
and yeah I know there is more power draw than just the cards, I just wasn't expecting it to be so much.

Curious if it's normal for my rig to be pulling ~180W more than just what the cards are pulling... specs below:
Hardware:
Mobo: ASRock H110 Pro BTC+ LGA 1151 Intel H110
CPU: Intel Celeron G3930 Kaby Lake Dual-Core 2.9 GHz LGA 1151
Memory: Patriot Signature Line 4GB 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM
PSU: CORSAIR HXi Series HX1200i 1200W 80 PLUS PLATINUM
SSD: Patriot Flare 2.5" 60GB SATA III Internal SSD
GPUs: (4x) GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1070 Ti DirectX 12 GV-N107TGAMING-8GD 8GB 256-Bit GDDR5
Software:
OS: Ubuntu 18.04
Miner: Claymore's Duel Miner
mining Ethereum only
Total hashpower 107.19 Mh
Now for the power, the nvidia-smi command reads each card pulling ~ 141W (then x4 total should be 564 W)
I've got the rig plugged into a Floureon Power Meter, in a 120V outlet, the total draw of the rig is showing ~755 W
Thoughts?
