I'm glad I posted this guide on Reddit too lol The 1st issue is probably Realtec LAN The 2nd guess is Crucial P3 (check this post by @Ellissss , C3 with p3 plus and C10 without)

1 You have to check your "setup_script_file.txt" or whatewer you named it, maybe you don't have this parameter at all or it has a different name in your BIOS 2 But what is more important, this parameter is OPTIONAL. It is not necessary to thange it. Your screenshot shows that Low Power S0 Idle Capability is already *[01]Enabled So maybe your PSU is the culprit From the OP: UPD. Have you tried to change Enhanced Halt State(C1E) from Auto to Enabled ?

Agree. This data should be taken with a grain of salt of course and we should look at other reviews.

Yep

It's not quite right in my case (proxmox) bc my system isn't headless. "consoleblank" turns out videoutput so I get 1-2 watts less and around 98% C10 at idle In your case (unraid) I just don't know. I assume you need a dummy HDMI plug. the top search result is How do you deal with running headless?

My guess is Realtek 2.5G LAN is the culprit. God I hate Realtek so much! 😡 My 2 cents: ATX motherboard (especially with Realtek NIC) and with Z-chipset is not the best choise for low power consumption setup. @KarlMeyer i've had the same issue with RGB LED, just try solution from my previous post.

oh boy 😁 I even added link on askubuntu to this thread bc I quoted @mgutt in the comments. Btw there is a linux utility similar to AMISCE, but sadly it's not maintained anymore. It's called amifldrv And I believe there is a linux version of AMISCE but it's pretty hard to find if you are not a motherboard manufacturer. It's for annoying RGB LED, as @tmodev said below, just skip it bc it doesn't work. There is another workaround: lsusb output is: Bus 001 Device 005: ID 26ce:01a2 ASRock LED Controller create new rule in /etc/udev/rules.d /etc/udev/rules.d/01-asrock-led.rules with these lines: # Disable Asrock LED controller SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="26ce", ATTRS{idProduct}=="01a2", ATTR{authorized}="0" Reboot You are right Just skip it. In my case I don't need neither BT nor Wifi (but there is another settings for Wifi anyways) Correct. And I answered this question on askubuntu below in the comments :) My BIOS settings are just the same. In my case I have no USB devices and display turned off (consoleblank=130 kernel boot parameter)

@chchiyan as far as I know there is no such command. But if your motherboard has AMI BIOS, names should be similar at least. You also can reveal hidden setings with UEFITool (see guide I mentioned) but it's more complicated way IMO.

Good news everyone! I managed to get C10 pkg C-State (previously I get no higher than C3) on Asrock LGA1700 mobo and you can too. Yay! My setup is: Motherboard: Asrock H610M-ITX/ac CPU: i5-12500 NVME: Samsung 970 EVO 500Gb SSD: PLEXTOR PX-128M (only used on Windows) / 2x2.5" HDD: 250GB Samsung HM250HI + 4TB Seagate ST4000LM016 (on Proxmox) RAM: 2x32Gb Samsung DDR4 3200 PSU: Corsair RM650x 2021 So you have to enable/change hidden BIOS menus by using AMISCE (AMI Setup Control Environment) utility v5.03 or 5.05 for Windows (it sometimes provided with MSI software products and can easily be found on the internet). So you have to install Windows and to enable Administrator password in your BIOS. 1 Run Powershell as admin and cd to folder where your AMISCE extracted when run this command: .\SCEWIN_64.exe /o /s '.\setup_script_file.txt' /a In the setup_script_file.txt current values is marked with asterisk “*”. Our goal is to change “Lower Power S0 Idle Capability” from 0x0 (Disabled) to 0x1 (Enabled). From the command line you can check value/status by this command: .\SCEWIN_64.exe /o /lang 'en-US' /ms "Low Power S0 Idle Capability" /hb “*” next to “[00]Disabled” indicates it currently disabled. Then change it: .\SCEWIN_64.exe /i /lang 'en-US' /ms "Low Power S0 Idle Capability" /qv 0x1 /cpwd YOUR-BIOS-ADMIN-PASSWORD /hb Check again: .\SCEWIN_64.exe /o /lang 'en-US' /ms "Low Power S0 Idle Capability" /hb I also changed this settings because I wanted to .\SCEWIN_64.exe /i /lang 'en-US' /ms "LED MCU" /qv 0x0 /hb .\SCEWIN_64.exe /i /lang 'en-US' /ms "Native ASPM" /qv 0x0 /cpwd YOUR-BIOS-ADMIN-PASSWORD /hb .\SCEWIN_64.exe /i /lang 'en-US' /ms "Discrete Bluetooth Interface" /qv 0x0 /cpwd YOUR-BIOS-ADMIN-PASSWORD /hb .\SCEWIN_64.exe /i /lang 'en-US' /ms "UnderVolt Protection" /qv 0x0 /hb .\SCEWIN_64.exe /i /lang 'en-US' /ms "Password protection of Runtime Variables" /qv 0x0 /cpwd YOUR-BIOS-ADMIN-PASSWORD /hb 2 Another approach is to edit setup_script_file.txt manually by changing the asterisk location. And then: .\SCEWIN_64.exe /i /s '.\setup_script_file_S0_enable.txt' /ds /r Finally, reboot your machine. In Windows I have C8 pkg C-State (Throttlestop utility) and 4.5 watts from the wall at idle (display went to sleep). in Proxmox (sorry I don't use Unraid but this forum is a godsend) as you see I have C10 (couldn't believe my eyes at first) and 5.5 - 6 watts from the wall with disks spinned down (added 2 2,5" HDDs: 250GB Samsung HM250HI and 4TB Seagate ST4000LM016 instead of Plextor SSD) This guide was heavily inspired by another guide (I don't know if it's allowed to post links to another forums but you can find it by searching "Enabling hidden BIOS settings on Gigabyte Z690 mainboards")
