Too high power consumption

[Valgard19]

hello i had before 1x rx570 msi armor in my mining and it take at wall 167W. now i put only 2x powercolor dragon rx 580 4gb and they take from wall 390W (without the rx 570) that is not too high ? I expected consumption ~ 330W

Did you apply and bios mods, undervolts?

Default consumption is of RX 500 series are quite high.

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.
