pappaq Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 (edited) Hey community, I'm in the process of upgrading/sidegrading my server. First off, I wanna get the powerdraw significantly lower. My current setup consists of: Ryzen 1700 @ 3000MHz Asus B450 ROG Strix F Gaming 32GB RAM @ 2400MHz 10x HDDs helium/Non-helium 4x SSDs 1x Dell H310 SAS controller 1x Intel Gigabit NIC 5x Noctua Fans 1x Nvidia GTX1070 for transcoding 34 Dockers and 2 Debian VMs running. The system draws around 100W in idle state. I've got several thoughts about getting the powerdraw lower: I've set the CPU clockspeed that low because under unraid the powerstates weren't managed right like 2 years ago and setting it lower was the only option to keep the CPU under control. Same with the RAM. I don't neet the speed of the RAM but from 3200MHz to 2400MHz were a decrease in powerdraw of 6W. Second I'm considering changing the CPU to a Ryzen 3 PRO 4350G. These CPUs should have a severly lower powerdraw. What do you guys think? Thanks for suggestions in advance! cheers! Edited February 10, 2021 by pappaq Quote Link to comment

If enable turbo/xfr, then it actually use same/more power then before. I suggest you disable half core to evaluate first. Edited February 10, 2021 by Vr2Io Quote Link to comment

I've ordered the CPU nevertheless. In case the sidegrade doesn't turn out as I hope it will, the CPU will propably sell for the very same price I've ordered it today. They are sold as salvaged parts from OEM systems. Does anyone have information about newer Ryzen generations and the powerstate handling under Unraid? Quote Link to comment
