So ive never really paid attention to the power I consume running various servers over the years but now that ive cleaned up and consolidated im trying to gauge my power draw compared to others.

I run a Proxmox host with 13 HDDs, 6 NVMe drives and 2 U2 NVME drives, a Quattro P2200, RTX A2000, RTX 4070, Epyc CPU, HBA for HDDs, NVMe Card 4x4.

A Synology 2422 with 4SSD, 2 HDDs

A Synology expansion with 8 HDDs

I run about 500 watts off the wall for all this stuff and I think this is the lower end as I wasn’t using the GPUs. That includes a couple switches as well. Very silent runs very cool.

What do other people consume?

    It used to be a 3900X machine when I had much higher compute requirements but I swapped out the CPU when idle power became a bigger concern.

    What was the idle power consumption on the 3900X machine?

      I have a 10drive unraid system with a 3900x – pulls total 300-350w Rack with switches and networking stuff pulls another 200ish

      Total 500ish :)
