[SOLVED] Excessive power consumption ?

[meppips]

Good day, i'm new in mining. I am mining ETH now and my mining rig parts are: 2x RX 580, 2x RX 6800 and 1 RX 5600 XT, my server power supply is 1200w, in Lolminer the reading is about 470.4 watts but when i check the wattmeter it is 706 watts, is my wattmeter okay or my power supply is broken?

TIA!

I would believe the watt meter. It may be the mining software that is "broken".

It may be that the software reads true power while the wattmeter is reading apparent power.
