Ryzen 7 1700 idle over 100W power draw

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:

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

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.
