Running Ubuntu server and staying constantly at 75+w. From what I'm reading online I'm about double the normal consumption. Nvidia-smi tells me that the GPU is eating about 8-10w. Mobo is a B450M-A PRO MAX, 16 GB RAM.
The server is running some docker containers (plex, *arr suite, rarely an instance of valheim but that doesn't impact the wattage too much) and nothing more. 2 HDDs.
Any tip?

How are you measuring consumption? If you have a plugin wall meter what's you're psu efficiency?

A Meross wall plug on Home Assistant. I have no idea about the efficiency of the PSU.

Buy a 5600g CPU and you might drop a good chunk of those watts. The first gen Ryzen ate a lot of watts at idle.

5600g

Can I transcode efficiently with that?
