I run a few big machines for Folding@Home and I'm trying to estimate my power draw from each machine.
I picked up a Kill-a-Watt device from Home Depot but I'm worried that it's inaccurate when reading consumption based on wattage.
Based on the benchmark reviews I've seen, a single 1080 Ti, on full load, should pull 300+ watts, but my machine with 3 x 1080 Ti and an i7-5930K doesn't pull over 850. Now, I know there won't be as much of a draw as I don't have a lot of components like a monitor or anything, but this still seems too low. The reading in the picture was at full Folding@Home load with each card sitting aroung 72C and fan speed manually set to 85% on each card.
Does anyone have an explanation for this? Is this too low to be believed?
3 x 1080 Ti @ 800W
2 x 1070 @ ~400W
1080 Hybrid + 1070 @ ~450W
