Power consumption from the wall to high | 3070FE

For this miner I believe it’s drawing to much power from the wall and it should be around 50% lower than the power it’s drawing at the moment.

Currently I’m running a miner with the following specifications:

Rig:
Motherboard: PRIME Z390-P ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. (2820 01/06/2021)
CPU: 6 × Intel(R) Core™ i5-9400 CPU @ 2.90GHz AES
Disk Model: ATA KINGSTON SA400S3 240GB
PSU: Seasonic Prime PX-1300

GPU’s:
1x NVIDIA 3070FE
1x NVIDIA 3060Ti FE (later added)

When there was only one GPU in the RIG the powerconsumption at the wall outlet was ±290W (measured with a Brennenstuhl PM 231 E).
The card draws ± 120W according to HiveOS, so from the wall it should be around 133W given a 90% efficiency.

Than the other components in the system should draw 290 - 133 = 157W! Seems high to me but OK.

However when I’ve added a 3060Ti FE yesterday, the powerconsumption at the wall increased with 255W to 545W.
HiveOS Says the powerconsumption from the 3060Ti FE is 118W, so with ± 90% effeciency it should be like 131W from the wall.

The power consumption increased 255W but the card only draws 131W, thats 124W of losses somewhere.

Maybe your meter is faulty? Do you have another to test with?
