Sorry, how to find it? Can someone help pls? I just built a 8 X 1070 using a platinum rated 1200W PSU. I was wondering how to find the actual power consumption if the rig? Should I get that from Afterburner?

To accurately get it from the wall you need something like a this https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA2M043P9703&cm_re=kill_a_watt-_-82-715-001-_-Product That will show you accuratley how much you are pulling from your entire rig at the wall. You can also use it accuratley track your electircal cost which can be an added benefit as well.

Thanks for the information. Btw, is there a way to logically calculate it? Or using software, just an estimate figure would do.

To Hash or not to Hash, that's what the question

i think 350W is a bit more than it should of been with cards idling...IMO. My 4x1080ti OC system idles at about 150W depends on CPU though, and it consumes about 1.25KW at the wall when mining (z170, ssd,g4400,2x4gb ddr4, no extra fans)

I'm currently facing a 2,000W consumption, and have no idea why.
5 x 480 RS; ASRock H81 Pro BTC; Intel Celeron G1840; 4 GB RAM.
OS: Win 10; Claymore.
PSU is a (probably?) pretty outdated Club 3D 1200W from 2011. Might a new one help?
Or are you aware of any other known issues with the said system?

Becoming kind of desperate. Undecided

Edit:
Consumption is about 1,800 with ethOS; but that's not overwhelming either.

Maybe you need to test with a different meter at the wall? There's no way your system should pull more then 1000 watts at the wall at stock settings of ~150 watts per GPU. Just to rule things out, how are you determining the power consumption?

Ironically, the meter was the first thing i thought about. But it gives me an idle consumption with about 350 watts, which seems pretty decent. Unfortunately it's the only meter I've got. Getting another one today.
Also checked, if maybe one of the 5 GPUs is pulling unusually much itself. But running it with 4 GPUs reduces the consumption for about 350 Watts to ~1650 Watts.
The meter itself is a pretty standard one. http://imgur.com/a/ADIPH

Is your power supply bronze?

It's silver.

A 1200w silver power supply shouldn't be able to take more than 1500-1600w at the wall. 1800w... damn that power supply is op or something else is at play.

So, sorcery confirmed?

What are your rigs watt consumption?

Specifically looking for an rx 470s 6 gpu watt consumption

I have a 6 GPU rx 470 4GB rig that pulls ~907-910 watts at the wall at full stock settings. That's with a Gold rated EVGA 1300 watt PSU. With a little bit of undervolting I have it down around ~815 watts at the wall and almost the same hashrate.

^that is mining ZEC, mining ETH + DCR is another 20-30 watts extra.

Is that 20-30 per card?

That is total system power increase, so about 5 watts per card. This is with the stock from the factory bios btw.

I don't have 470s but 480s

So, for 6x rx 480 8gb without overclock or undervolt, running windows 10, mining ETH are having a pick of around 1225 watts and an average of 1150 watts

If you undervolt a bit, you can get below 1000W.

Thanks for your suggestion Mahanton but in this way it will reduce the hash rate.
Probably in Linux the consumption is a bit less than windows

I'm running three identical RX470 8gb Sapphire Nitro+ rigs, Asrock Pro BTC R2.0 boards, 8gb ram, Windows 10 Pro on SSDs.

Each runs x5 RX470's and pulls around 950w on start-up, but after reducing voltages etc., they run at around 715w each. I guess if I added a 6th card it would add around 100w.

5 cards = 122M/hs for ETH, I don't overclock. Reducing the power usage only reduces the total hash rate by about 4M/hs
