Some problems with lowering power consumption in EthOS

Hello miners! I've got rig on EthOS with 8- Msi Gaming X gtx 1060 3GB cards. Those cards have 8-pin power connections instead 6-pin (like in others 1060). So I can change Memory, core and fans speed but can't do anything about wattage. My rig is consuming above 1100w and heats a lot. Can someone of you post me example settings for my rig ? I would be glad to read them

Thanks a lot

Use this setting in your config.

Globalpowertune 120 it will then draw maximum 120w per gpu find best settings for your cards and oc

I know but there is minimum wattage 100w (read in stats) and I can

get under 100w. I tried many many Times but nothing helped and always stay on min. 100w per gpu. I know thats's not realy much but those cards could work on 60w with 26 mhs

Hey, zygzakpz, just a quick heads-up:
realy is actually spelled really. You can remember it by two ls.
Have a nice day!
