Kinda curious what people’s power draw is. Mine sits at about 50-60W at idle.
I’m kinda new to self hosting but I have immich and jellyfin severs. And then a little LLM role-playing game I made running locally on an older gaming laptop. It spikes up to like 170W for like 30 secords when playing when the “Dungeon Master” responds.
Idk just like to hear what other people got going on! I’ll probably still tinker to get my power draw down even more if possible


Way too much. The Nvidia P40 I scavenged for my homemade AI server runs at 120W (throttled down from 250W default) on its own. Then I’ve got two more PCs running purely as redundant firewalls with automatic failover, pretty unnecessary but if that’s not the sort of thing homelabbing is for then I’m going to keep doing it wrong because I find it fun. Then there’s the minecraft server, which is pretty beefy and also eternally running at max CPU because my niece is a monster who loves spamming spawn eggs and should never be allowed access to creative mode. And I don’t even have the two rack units of disk arrays I bought at auction powered up yet because they need 240V which I don’t have handy. I guess someone could do the math on what 48 enterprise SAS drives will pull if they need to satisfy their curiosity, I’m not sure I want to. I will hook them up someday but for now ignorance is bliss. All I know is it’s a lot, and there’s stuff I’m not even including in this.
