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?

Follow up question: how is your hearing? An actual blade setup would be loud as bombs inside a house.

Actually, the MX7000 is not terrible on noise comparatively. Not silent, obviously, but no worse than a typical 1U server.

Now, having that many compute modules may make that thing loud…

Yep. It’s not so bad. I typically only have 4 or so blades powered on at a time, so it’s not so bad. The MX9116N IOMs I have though require more cooling. Had I gone for the lesser ones, it’d probably be a little quieter.
