Download saphire trixx n play with the volt to under volt it. It helps to bring down the needed power.

Also read up other topic on bios mod too.

Set lower voltages and underclock. Also you can mod bios to be less power intensive.

I believe the default power consumption of rx 580 is slightly higher than rx 570 by about 20w(I might be wrong) but I am sure they where higher, I believe that explains the higher power draw at the wall.
