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?

How did you get that graph
Looks like a graph from a power meter displayed in Home Assistant to me.
300-350W (which currently equals about 100€/month). Running two proxmox servers in a cluster + 2 routers, modem and switch
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.
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.
< 10W, I’m guessing my router, modem and WiFi AP take more power than the PI4 with 1 SSD and J4125 with 2 SSDs
Yep. Same hahah.
And I am even using my Pi4 as an Access Point too execpt nexcloud jellyfin kavita piholenpivpn etc
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.
110w ish. A Dell server with SSDs 370G ram, 2 sockets.
370G RAM ?!
~ 5 watts when I ran everything on an old laptop
~ 40 on my new desktop server
My rack looks to pull about 325-350W. I need to downgrade my main server, as it’s a bit overkill as a decommed proliant. Need to figure out a high ram nuc as a replacement
To be honest, I don’t really know but it’s only really costing me 5 extra dollars a month so for the additional performance and storage space, it’s less expensive than renting a VPS.
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.
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
About 1200w @120v
I have 200 of that at home, the other 1000 is in our data center at work, and I don’t pay for that power. It’ll be rough when I leave some day.
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.
