I used nicehash to test the rig. Will be using EWBF when I tweak everything. More concerned with how I pulled 1057 watts and why? I’m assuming it was because of the alternate power cord that was to small. After we shut down and pulled the semi melted cord out and replaced it with a 14 gauge server cable it dropped to around 840 watts for 10 mins on nicehash
Was using the wrong size cable the culprit? I thought they were interchangeable. Going to run 3 cards instead of 4 till I know what the cause of the large power draw to the wall was.
resistance of the say 18ga ac wire causes it.
The 14ga has less resistance saves 200 watts.
Next load proper software to set tdp to 70 or 75%.
Running nvidia at 100% is just dumb. Also some 1070s are
200 watts
175 watts
150 watts at 100%
Do any of your gpus have 2 sockets vs 1 ? They will have higher stock tdp.
That’s why you need msi afterburner
