Holy cow. What's driving half of that wattage? Is it the 32 sticks of ram? Or the 4 cpu?
Your server is 75% of my entire house power, including my server.
I forgot there is also a gtx 1650 in there as well.
But honestly. I’m fairly sure the majority of the power draw is the 4 CPU’s.
96 cores and 192 threads on older architectures was a bit of a power suck. If I had it all to do over again I would for sure have gotten an epyc chip instead.
Well, a DDR4 RAM stick would use 2-4W, so 32 sticks is 64-128W alone. 4 CPUs don't help either. :)
Given it's only 512MB, it could be achieved with just 8 64GB modules, which would save a bit of power, but that's also a lot of money to put into what is after all somewhat obsolete hardware. (And I say that running a v4 Xeon as well :P)
