Hi everyone,
First of all, thank you for the excellent write-up. So far this helped me greatly reducing the power consumption of my setup. However, just as described above I am stuck at sleep state C3 and it is refusing to go any higher than that. I was hoping some of you might have the answer to the thing that has been annoying me for the last few days. The hardware is as follows;
Asrock C246 WSI motherboard
Intel i3 9100 with Noctua NH-L9i fan
2x 16gb Kingston Server Premier KSM26ED8/16HD DDR4 RAM
EVGA SuperNOVA 650 GM SFX PSU
1TB Sabrent 2242 NVMe SSD
5x 8TB WD HDD
Jonsbo N1 NAS case
32gb Sandisk Unraid usb
I've also tried booting a clean install of Ubuntu, no avail, still only C3. Thereafter I tried disconnecting all the hardware besides the CPU fan, still C3.
Also I tried updating the BIOS to the latest version, this also didn't help. You will find my BIOS settings below. (sorry for the reflections)
This is the result from power top:
I'm really hoping someone has the answer to this since I have no clue what to do next.
Thank you!!
