Without the GPU its about 15-16W. Thats with everything unused turned off and bios tuned for power savings (eg. turned off wifi antennas, bluetooth, onboard sound, turned on pcie aspm...). I'm running the conservative cpu governor as it makes zero difference in power draw but a giant difference in overall speed.    I do not use Plex with transcoding, but if thats your objective even something like G5400/G6400 is plenty powerful for such task and might be closer to your power target then an i3.  Cheers With or without disks? what disks do you use?

Alex.b Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 I updated my server : - i5-10400 - 2x8 GB 3200Mhz - BeQuiet Gold psu - 2x8 Tb - 3 SSD Â With HDD spin off, I'm at 32W, 10 more watts than my previous build, but with a 3x more powerful. Quote Link to comment

I forgot to add my array I see. I use 3x 4TB WD Reds. The mentioned power consumption is with disks spun down. Quote Link to comment
PeteAron Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 for my two servers, listed in my sig, here are my numbers:  i7-3770 server, idle (no activity, all disks spun down) is about 60 watts. at 99% processor activity and all drives spun up, it is about 195 watts.  1230L server, idle at about 36 watts. it never sees full activity, but all disks active results in just uner 60 watts.  fwiw, i am sure noone cares Quote Link to comment
Towatai Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Lenovo ThinkCentre M700 with a i5-6500T CPU, 16 GB of DDR4 Ram and one 1TB WD Blue SATA-SSD. Unraid 6.10 RC2 with 3 active Docker Containers (PiHole, Guacamole and NGINX Reverse Proxy) between 4,5 and 6 Watts ideling. On a Dell OptiPlex 3050 Micro, Same CPU/RAM/SSD and Unraid Version ~9W. The Dell had problems with the PKG C-States. On the Dell, the Package only goes into the PKG C3 State. On the Lenovo C7! Quote Link to comment
lex87 Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Hey Guys, how you measure your engergy consumption? Have you any docker for this running? Quote Link to comment

un4given Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Hi All! Switched recently my build from Ryzen 9 5900x hoping to get less power consumption but was pretty disappointed with the results.  I5 10400 ASRock B560M Pro4 16GB (2x8) 2666 non ECC Ram Corsair R550X PSU 3x 18 X18 TB Exos 2x 8 TB WD 1x 1TB NVMe for Docker - always running 2x 500GB SSD Pool - spun down when not needed 2x 500GB SSD Pool - spun down when not needed 1x LSI HBA 9270-8i 10G RJ45 XG-C100C Adapter  In idle with all disks spun down I get 60-68 Watt from the wall While using Plex the consumption rises to 86-100 Watt.  Tried using powertop autotune, but it didn't seem to help.  Slowly I think that 68 watt is best I can get. With Ryzen 9 I had 80-90 Watt in Idle. Quote Link to comment
fiR3W4LL Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Hi Guys Switched recently my build from Ryzen 7 3700x hoping to get less power consumption was pretty happy with the result. I have two servers, i changed only the Backupserver for now.  MB Supermicro X13SAE-F CPU: Intel 12700 RAM: 64GB ECC DDR5 Kingston BeQuiet! Dark Rock TF2 2x 1TB Cache NVME 1x 500GB VM NVME 5x 16TB Toshiba MG08 1x Ironwolf 8TB  With the old Build i had a Powerconsumption of 110W with my Switch connected to it. Now i have a power consumption of about 55w. Will post more infos after i done with the Mainserver where is the only thing connected to the other USV. Quote Link to comment

Do U have a HBA for the drives, or directly connected to the SATA ports of the board? Quote Link to comment

Actually im using an BeQuiet Straight Power 11 with 650w, maybe i could optimize the Powerdraw with an other PSU i dont know. No everything connected directly to the MoBo, but like i said. On this USV are connected the Server and the Switch with 3 Ubiquiti APs So i can give an acurate Powerdraw of the System, on the end of this week. Quote Link to comment

Also, what BIOS settings do you have configured. I have a similar CPU/RAM/Motherboard combo, but cannot get the CPU (Intel 13700) to move any lower than C2 power states   Quote Link to comment
Decto Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 (edited) Interesting to compare, with increasing energy costs I would like to reduced my idle power consumption, though I think the ROI on a potential ~15W saving (£40 / $50 per year) isn't going to pay off a modern platform so I'll be sticking with this for now.  The one thing I may change is the UPS as it adds 15-20W onto the base load according to my power socket, while a more expensive line interactive unit adds just 3-5W from what I can see in a bit of random forum feedback, so likely a UPS is the lowest hanging fruit and will pay for itself in a couple of years.   Supermicro X10SRA Xeon E5 2660 V3 (10C / 20T) 4 x 16GB ECC 6 x 8TB 1 x 8TB parity 3 x SSD (2x cache, 1 scratch) Quadro P2000 Corsair RM850X PSU  Idle (~51W +/- 4W resolution on the UPS) - HDD spun down  Edited February 4, 2023 by Decto +HDD spin down Quote Link to comment
