Mine runs at 30watts at idle.

That powers 4 switches, 1AP, and my proxmox system (framework laptop motherboard) which runs my router and my services.

What is everyone else’s usage and what does it power?

    Why are you asking, did my wife get you to ask?

    But around 300w with 24 port switch, dish shelf (3.5" disks) and server with ssd’s and 2.5" disks

        I pay 0.7 EUR/kWh though it’s capped at 0.4 EUR/kWh at the moment. Which is why I make net half of my power myself. At some 1 EUR/Wp it pays off really quickly.

        I approve of the y-axis label. But everything else is kinda missing… Like the information what’s depicted on the diagram. Cost of production? Price for a end-user? pre- or after tax? which country? and why did someone paint in 5 different colors? It certainly doesn’t match what i’m paying.

    Around 100w usually for:

    • ccr2004
    • crs309
    • old epyc 7601 server (about 60w, 8 HDDs with spindown, 5 ssds and a mcx311 10G)
    • homeassistant raspi separate from the main server
    • poe switch for phone and ap.

    All connected to a UPS so measuring is easy and power usage is constant. I would prefer lower as power cost is very high but there is not really anything significant to save at the moment as the server board has no standby function and i need it most of the time.

    Average usage for me hovers around 180-200W. I’m running the following:

    • unRAID server with a Ryzen 5 5600G proc, 3 SSD/2 HDD.
    • QNAP TS-251+
    • Proxmox server running an i5-4460, 2 SSD/1 HDD
    • UDM Base
    • Unifi 8port gig switch with 3 ports providing about 12W POE, give or take.
    • ISP provided modem

    Given all it does for me, I’m ok with the tradeoff.

    Between 3 switches, 4 servers, and my desktop also using one of my UPS units, I average about 850w, with peaks up to 1.1kw when my desktop is running. Luckily, electricity where I live is only 13cents/kwh.

      I really don’t like how people most commonly try to justify the monetary cost of their power consumption.

      In my opinion the way more important metrics should be how the energy you are consuming is generated and how much carbon emissions are caused by it.

      Who cares that your 2000W@230V idle are “free”, if that means you are burning crude oil in your backyard to generate it…

          I’m not saying that cost of power is entirely irrelevant.

          I’m saying that “My setup consumes a lot of power, but that’s fine because it doesn’t cost me much” is kind of backwards. While monetary cost certainly is one of the arguments for energy efficiency, responsibly using resources and avoiding wasting energy are way more compelling ones imo. That especially applies if your energy isn’t produced via renewable means.

          Even if power was entirely free of monetary cost, you shouldn’t waste it, don’t you agree?

    Mine is ~300w @ 230v most of the day. It varies only on what is being used.

    when power fails and i have to switch to generator, the servers stay about the same but I can add about 250w to that for my PC, modem(nbn) etc . (which is why i know this info!)

    My proxmox server runs at 60W idle, which is the main Reason why I am getting a new system soon. Old one is running a old (2011 I think) dual core celeron.

    55W idle for 3 servers, network gear and UPS. I live in the US but electricity is still expensive and I try to keep everything efficient. My primary/most powerful server with 20TB of SSD only uses 22W idle.

    Mine runs a little under 18 W with one 8 port managed switch, a DSL modem, CM4-based router, a tiny Wifi AP, and an Intel Celeron J4105 based mini PC server.

    Mine has been idling around 300-400 watts. I’ve recently been making some changes that have it running more than usual. I’m hoping in the next week I will get it back below 300 watt idle. With the space I have and the current cost of solar panels I basically offset the entire labs electric usage with about $800 worth of solar gear. So I haven’t stressed too much about electric use.
