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?

Mind sharing some details on that ryzen server? It sounds cool

It's a simple machine - Ryzen 3 2200G, 48GB of DDR4-3200 running at 2933MHz, B550 mATX motherboard (most power-efficient AM4 chipset + has built-in 2.5GbE and PCIe 3.0 for all chipset lanes), with a mix of NVMe and SATA SSDs along with a few 4TB HDDs that are currently always off.

I went with the 2200G because I already had it, but you could easily get much better performance using a 5600G or 5300G, or a 4600G if you can find one.

Handles all my tasks no problem (PhotoPrism, Jellyfin, and general file server duties for the most part). I've got a big fat tower cooler on the CPU and I can't hear it even under full load.

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?

[–] void_nemesis@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Around 50-60W, but that's including a 1080Ti.

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

Total 500ish :)
