Hello everybody,
yesterday i upgraded my PC to an all AMD build and moved UnRAID on the new machine. Everything worked more or less out of the box (Vega Passthrough took me a while), but now i can't figure out why the power consumption is so high. First off, here my current Hardware:
Ryzen 5 2600
ASRock B450 Pro4
Sapphire Pulse Vega 56
16 GB DDR4 3200/CL16
2xWD 2TB, 1x3TB (Array)
1xCrucial MX300 500GB (Cache)
So, with a bare-metal windows installation, the idle power consumption is at around 60 Watt.
Having a windows gaming vm running (Vega56 passthrough) in unRAID, idle power consumption is at around 77 Watt (same disks etc. installed)
But when NO VM is running, unRAID gets hungry and takes about 140 Watt. This can't be right, can it?
So i guess it must be the GPU that is giving me the headaches. Or am i just missing something?
Additional note:
I'm coming from an Intel Xeon E3 system with a H97 motherborad. I just moved the unRAID Flashdrive to the new computer. Can this be my problem?
