    It varies every time, but I haven't seen that before, it was the first and only time I noticed that.

    That is pretty funny, I do have to ask, what is the bay device you are using that shows live wattage usage and what looks like a charge level for an attached (assuming USB) device?

    Its an APC UPS/Battery Backup, he just scrolled through the status menus until he hit load.
     
    Since I put my 1070 in, my machine, monitor, modem, and sound system all hover around 320W. I love the 666 though, that's just excellent!

    Corrrection: it's CyberPower CP1500PFCLCD. And no, I didn't scroll through menus, I have the display set always on showing current load.

    Yeah, I realized the power button was in the wrong place a bit later, anyway, at least I had the device type correct
