Re: [AMBER] Monitoring GPU voltage

Hi Kenneth,

Can I ask why you need to monitor the power consumption of the GPUs - it's
not really information that is of much use as far as I can tell. If you
want to know the power consumption it's probably better just to stick an
ammeter on the lead to the power supply.

All the best
Ross
