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?

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 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!)

Same as you. Old AMD system with a Ryzen 2400, three hard drives and two ssds running open Media vault. The hard drives spin down after 30 minutes, as I only use them once or twice a day.

300-350W (which currently equals about 100€/month). Running two proxmox servers in a cluster + 2 routers, modem and switch

About 150 watts:

  • Qotum i3 4 port mini pc pfSense firewall
  • TP-Link 24 port managed switch
  • Shuttle DH110 SFF PC running Proxmox with Coral TPU running a Home Assistant OS VM with the Coral passed through for Frigate and an Ubuntu VM running Jellyfin, *arr stack and other media stuff
  • Lenovo m910q running Proxmox and a bunch of VMs for docker and testing stuff (RHEL, Debian 11, Windows 10 Enterprise N)
  • HP ProDesk 400 SFF running Proxmox with a Debian 11 VM that is my “daily driver” OS
  • An ancient AMD FrankenPC cobbled together from old parts that runs Ubuntu 20.04 baremetal and exists only to house a few IronWolf drives totalling about 24TB.

All of the systems except for the firewall and fileserver have i7-6700T CPUs - 4 cores, 8 threads, 35 watts. Nice chips!

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.

Around 180W

  • VMware server (AMD 3700X 128xmemory 2xnvme 2xssd 2xhdd)
  • 8bay Synology
  • 24 post switch
  • Protectli firewall

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 feel for those in Europe, these are the current spot prices in NZ

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.

From New Zealand and is averaged wholesale spot prices for the 5 (main) produces here

Ah okay. Makes sense. Didn’t know that. And New Zealand has cheap electricity because of big hydroelectric plants and geothermal energy? Or is that a political decision like it is subsidized by the government by taking little taxes on energy?

Mostly hydro, It would probably be even cheaper if we didn’t subsidise big aussie firms to smelter aluminium here

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.

About 45W for my router, fiber endpoint, switch, three wireless APs and a Pi4 running Home Assistant. I’ve got a synology running separately that I suspect uses more, but I haven’t measured it recently. Thinking about putting the synology in the crawlspace as it’s kinda loud.

My Grafana dashboard says 81 watts at the moment. This includes a slightly beefy Intel computer running Proxmox, with a Kubernetes cluster inside, a few other small ARM servers, and my networking stack which is a router, 1 switch, 1 AP, and a modem. Also the main server is full of spinning rust disks. I haven’t done much to optimize power consumption.

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.

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
