So ive never really paid attention to the power I consume running various servers over the years but now that ive cleaned up and consolidated im trying to gauge my power draw compared to others.

I run a Proxmox host with 13 HDDs, 6 NVMe drives and 2 U2 NVME drives, a Quattro P2200, RTX A2000, RTX 4070, Epyc CPU, HBA for HDDs, NVMe Card 4x4.

A Synology 2422 with 4SSD, 2 HDDs

A Synology expansion with 8 HDDs

I run about 500 watts off the wall for all this stuff and I think this is the lower end as I wasn’t using the GPUs. That includes a couple switches as well. Very silent runs very cool.

What do other people consume?

~200 kWh during the day, ~700 kWh during the night. I stress load at night to heat up my room, literally.

Dang, my entire house (including my lab) uses about 1100 kWh a MONTH. You have serious consumption going on.

My bad, only 700 Wh (0.7 kWh, not 700 kWh 😅).

I assume you have a measurement wrong, 700kwh during the night means (in a span of 12 hours) a continuous load of 58000 watts. If not, nice datacenter you got there!

Oh yeah, should not type this comment when I’m sleepy 😴 Watt Hour, not kWh.
