Rig pulling too much power from the wall?

So I ahve rig with 5 * rx 470 and 2* 570 4GB gpus, and power meter reports around 1040W which seems too high, considering that HiveOS reports aroun 615W. I expected something like 850-900W mostly, but damn 1040W seems a lot.

Can someone tell me why is it pulling so much. PSU IS Corsair RM1000i Platinum. I know that polaris gpus take more power than what it reports, and that system takes around 120-180W, but damn 1040W is kinda a lot.
