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

    Built my own server to be completely silent since it lives in my living room. Based on an Intel i3-12100 with some NVMe and 5x SATA SSD’s, and running tons of containers. Does about 18W most of the time and it could have been lower with a different motherboard.

    All the UniFi stuff (gateway, switches, APs) uses just under 50W though, so there’s little sense in spending more money on the server to shave off a few watts.
