    But seriously though, I cut off a good 30-40% from my GPUs power limit and would you look at that, I still enjoy the games I play.

    Have to run most of them at low to medium settings anyway, so might as well.

    Only thing left to improve it further would be undervolting, I should try that at some point.

      Undervolt it too. Depending on what GPU you have, you might drop an additional 20-40% without a performance hit. An older GTX1070 I used to have dropped power consumption by 40%. The energy savings weren’t that big, but it was nice and quiet
