Hi,
any suggestions how I could improve power consumption of my server?
I currently see 70W idle as is, but if I remove the 4x HDD I get down to 45W
The CPU is lowered to 45W TDP
Only areas where I see potential:
other CPU
other HDDs
I already got a HP T620+ to run Proxmox with OPNSense, pi-hole, Home Assistant, Omada Controller to be able to NOT run the storage server 24/7.
Asrock Rack X470D4U
Ryzen 2700X
Noctua NH-U9DX i4
4x16GB ECC DDR4 Samsung 2666Mhz
Crucial P2 250GB for OS
Asus Hyper V2 with 4x Micron 7300 Pro 960GB (PLP, 1.9PB TBW)
5x 3.5 Backplane RaidSonic Icy Box IB-555SSK
Case: Unykach 4329 (4U)
UPC: APC Smart-UPS X 1000VA (power consumption above measured independently from UPC)
