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?

I don’t know, but my electric bill is certainly painful.
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 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.
What did you get to offset the cost? I’d like to do something but idk where to start looking.
I went with simple micro-inverters (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09N8T2741/) paired with some standard panels (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BRKK73QN/) Micro-inverters can’t be used when doing a full off-grid system but they are great at reducing energy bills. Super easy install that required no change to my home’s electric circuits.
200-300w

I’ve got:
R720 w/ 2697v2s, 12 hdds Some Intel 2011 box w/ 2667v2s A custom AM5 server w/ 7700x, 8 hdds An old Cisco enterprise 48 port (&4 SFP+) switch It seems to hover ~800w.
I’m looking into replacing a lot of it especially the Intel server because it’s used for just pfSense.110w ish. A Dell server with SSDs 370G ram, 2 sockets.
370G RAM ?!
Currently my UPS is reporting 207 watts, that’s with a unraid server (3600 + 32GB ram + 2060 super for plex, and 6 drives), a mini pc for pf sense, a rpi 4 running pihole and vpn server, a single poe ap, a modem, and security cameras… it can spike to 250w with multiple encodes going on from family … but overall not bad… I did have a dedicated 20A switch installed for just my network closet as well
25w pc with 3 SSDs and idk how much w for rpi running 2nd pihole
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!)
I’ve been eyeing a transition over to intel Nucs. At the moment i’m at about 120w, hoping to bring that down to 70-80w, or even more if possible
Currently powering:
- Thin client (firewall/router)
- Old machine (DVR)
- New machine (hypervisor)
- Nuc (testing workloads)
- Network switch
- PoE CCTV
About 70 W for opnsense on a thin client, an Atom Proxmox and fanless 24 port switch. North of 6 kW if I fire up everything.
I think I’m at 225 watts.
HP ProLiant us using 125 to 150 mostly, synology nas that consumes about 30, and I think the ubiquity stuff takes about 75 watts
Dual Xeon 2640v3, Quadro P2000, 6 mechanical HDDs, 5 SSDs, 8 port LSI HBA.
How did you get that graph
Looks like a graph from a power meter displayed in Home Assistant to me.
