pappaq Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 (edited) Hi there, my system consists of: Motherboard: ASRock B450 Pro4 CPU: Ryzen 7 1700 @ stock RAM: 32GB Corair 3000 FANs: 5x120mm, various manufacturers Cache: 2xSandisk 500GB Array: 10xSeagate Desktop 4TB HDDs Graphicscard: MSI GTX970 and it draws with 0-1% of load about 130W from the wall. When the HDDs are spun down, still 100W. That is too much, if you ask me. For comparison some reviews of different sites: https://www.vortez.net/articles_pages/amd_ryzen_1700_review,5.html https://www.tomshardware.co.uk/amd-ryzen-7-1700-cpu-review,review-33854-8.html https://www.anandtech.com/show/13085/the-asrock-b450-gaming-itx-ac-and-b450-gaming-k4-motherboard-reviews-fatal1ty-on-a-b450-budget/6 I mean these tests are done with Windows 10 as the OS, but that still looks a little bit off. Does any Ryzen user have some input? cheers Edited October 19, 2018 by pappaq Quote Link to comment
Vr2Io Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 (edited) I use 1700, I think it is normal. You have GTX970. My other build Intel G3250 also have similer power usage, no GPU, have 12 disks spindiwn. You should take note, what those review measure, how and the tool use.

pappaq Posted October 19, 2018 Author Share Posted October 19, 2018 I've ordered a Ryzen 5 2400g and will test with that. For 24/7 use, the 1700 pulls too much... Quote Link to comment
Vr2Io Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 I don't thing 2400G would help much in idle. I would expect less 15-20w even no gtx970. Quote Link to comment
Iciclebar Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 (edited) That seems pretty normal, the gtx970 doesn't have the greatest idle power consumption, ~ 13w at idle. If you are running dual monitors its going to pull more and some driver revisions have power draw issues when more than 1 monitor is connected. The new 2080 was pulling like 55w in multi monitor at idle due to a driver issue according to some early reviews. According to the UPS my rig draws ~113w at idle and about 160w with a win10 vm spun up.
