1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Mining Rig Watt Consumption on: June 23, 2017, 04:56:49 AM
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 pretty outdated Club 3D 1200W from 2011.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?
