I modify my AMD RX 570 & 580 to set core and memory clocks and voltage in bios because that seems to work best.
I've been running
RX 580 Nitro+ Hynix & MicronCore 1250 950mV
Mem 2200 1000mV
RX 570 Nitro+ ElpidaCore 1250 950mV
Mem 2100 1000mV
RX 570 Gaming X Twin Frozr HynixCore 1250 950mV
Mem 2000 900mV
With those settings I get these power usage numbers
(
*Update: I'm asking myself why I haven't lowered the voltage on the other cards like I have the MSI. My answer is I was afraid it would be too little voltage for the higher mem clocks and I don't want to waste any time with the system being down.)

in HWInfo)
2x RX 580 8GB Nitro+ -
115W (each) 31-32MH/s ETH
1x RX 570 4GB Nitro+ -
115W 30MH/s
2x RX 570 4GB GAMING X -
85W 28MH/s (Mem errors too abundant at 30MH/s)
2x 1070 Ti Mini 70% PWR Limit -
125WSeaSonic PRIME Gold 1200W w/ Kill-A-Watt Meter reads 1175W-1245W (
at the wall) depending to GPU temps, fan speeds, and power limits on GTX's.
The SeaSonic PRIME Gold 1200W has somewhere between 90.6% and 87.7% efficiency at this power load.

My question is what clock speeds and voltage do most people run their AMD RX 5xx series cards for better power efficiency? I feel voltage could be lower, but what about clocks? Will I have to sacrifice some hashrate?
Thanks
