December 5, 20214 yr Hi all! So im looking to build server and dont know which procesor to chose because cant find any power consumption details. First i chose to pick Asus prime z590-a motherboard. Because in future i'm planning to add gpu, hba card, maybe 10gb card (or even second gpu for vm). It have 3x pcie 16x (8x4x4) lines and have 3x m.2 ports. With 11gen 16x lines ar using pcie4, and with 10gen using pcie3. And how about iommu groups with this motherboard? For cpu im still stuck with i5-10400 or i5-11400. I like to prefer 11 gen because of pcie4 and one additional m.2 slot but cant find any information about power consumption on idle without any disks. I saw 11gen on playing games consume 15w more but how about unraid when cpu are pretty idle? Maybe even i5-10400 would be much better without pcie4 usage? Maybe some unraid user can help with decision?
