@mgutt I am not sure if you can help out. But noticed you have a lot of posts on power consumption. Would appreciate it if you could take a look at my post

I am looking at reducing the power consumption of my system. System specs: ASRock H370M-ITX/ac Version Intel Pentium Gold G5400 CPU @ 3.70GHz Corsair DDR4 Valueselect 1x8GB 2666 Corsair PSU TX550M 550W 1 case fan that is set to 0rpm when system is idling Storage: Kingston SSD UV500 120GB (Cache) WD Blue 3,5" (CMR, 64MB cache, 5400rpm), 2TB WD20EZRZ (Parity) WD HDD 3.5" 1TB S-ATA3 64MB WD10EFRX Red (Data) I am using both the ethernet ports on the system (2 different VLANs) The system is running a VPN in Docker which is rarely used. Homeassistant (running as a VM) with Zigbee gateway and is used as my NAS backup drive. Things I already done to reduce power consumption: - Spin down harddrives after 4 hours - Disable WIFI and Bluetooth controller - Disable audio controller - Made sure all the C states are enabled in the BIOS - Turn of case fan below 50c CPU temp - In unraid tweaks: - Disable Intel Turbo/AMD Performance Boost - At night turn Power Saving CPU Scaling Governor to 'power saving' - Tried enabling powertop used auto-tune and it broke my Zigbee connection and didn't notice a difference in wattage used My power consumption idles at around 28 - 31 watts. I would like to see if I can lower the usage more. Any ideas?

Thank you so much!!! This did it for me after hours of debugging.
