My cMP 5.1 shows some strange behavior with High Sierra and Mojave.
When I concect one display the system uses 111 watt in idle.
After connecting a second display the system takes 170 watt.
After a while the PS and PCI fans spinning up to 1700 rpm.
If I disconnect the one display, the system power usage goes down to normal.
Fans are spinng down to normal.
When i boot to Win 7 or install my GTX 680, everything is normal.
Its definitivly the grafic card. I checked a clean install with Mojave.
It happens with or without EFI flash and on all ports.
