How Many Jigowatts Do You Use? (alien.top)

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?

Idle ~1.2kw underload reasonably 2.5 to 3kw? Haven't really stress tested everything to see where I sit at 25% intervals yet. Still rebuilding my rack, office, and support pcs right now. Will have a better idea of exact figures later this week. Averaging 85kwh/day for the house. Everything either has extremely specific low power tasks such as home assistant or truenas or handles vm, production environments, game servers, or gaming for the most part.
