Systems themselves are all around 5-20W, although the ones with mechanical HDDs obviously add their own idle usage.
About 120W total for:
- 2 Proxmox hosts with 4 spinning disks between them
- Opnsense firewall
- 24 port GbE switch
- Fiber ONT
- Unifi AP
Actually if anyone has advice I'd love to hear. My server is a b450 mobo with an athlon 320ge. Even with no hard drives spinning it uses 65watts. I don't understand how it is possible. 6 hard drives bring it to 85-90. Running truenas if it matters
I keep it off most of the time to safe power, I was expecting especially with such a cou much lower wattage, like under 20 idle. My assumption is the power supply can't get low enough.
What CPU governor are you using? I saved about 40W idle powerdraw switching to powersave vs the default on a Ryzen 9 3900X.
Is that a bios or truenas setting? The CPU is only 35 watt max
Operating system so TrueNAS in your case
I have four Raspberry Pi 4 running, so that's 15W max each or 60W max total. Usually they consume much much less.
7W I think
