According to my calibrated Tasmota plug, mine is guzzling about 160 Watt every hour, with energy costs sitting at (iirc) 0,38€/kWh. I really gotta take the time and track down who the worst offenders are some day....

Everything running I’m sitting at 392w

[–] ThreeLeggedChimp@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Do you have any base fees in your bill?

[–] Behrooz0@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

~4 Amps @220V last reading on the stabilizer.
Costs around 15~20 USD/month.

[–] Ke5han@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Approx 190W 24/7 and that's CAD $14 per month.

[–] No_Dragonfruit_5882@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

About 3000W ~ 400 Euros a Month in Germany.

~0.2€/KwH Day

~0.15€KwH Night

50W - $3 a month

~$0.08 per kW

That’s damn cheap. I am sitting at ~15W for 0.33€ per kW

  • HP 800 G3 mini with Proxmox mainly running Home Assistant, a VM used to host docker with Jellyfin and other lightweight containers, and another VM running PiHole and PiVPN
  • Synology DS218+
  • Synology DS120J
  • AVM FritzBox 7530 Router/Modem

Somewhere between 40 and 50W during the day, with the Synologys active depending on drive sleep status, and 23-24 at night with those shut off

On average about 0.9 kWh per day.

130w average usage for me. Works out at roughly £28/month (damn UK energy prices).

That 130w includes the server, switches and waps.

[–] IMI4tth3w@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

257kWh this month, or about $30 of electricity where I live.

This includes my entire server rack so not just specifically my server costs.

[–] MrBigOBX@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

3 UPS's read 350ish Watt all day 24/7/365 and thats just from my main rack

Add another 400 watts for my proxmox cluster (5 node one being an ML360g6 for 200watts)

And then another 150ish watts for my computer desk with 2 laptops and 6 monitors

Did i say i live in an apt and DONT pay for electric :)

Getting my info from HWMonitor as I can't find a better option without buying a hardware solution.

CPU: around 15W DRAM: around 10W GPU: around 60W if I'm reading that bit right...

Total (and adding a bit for other components and PSU efficiency losses): around 115W

Over a (30 day) month that would be 82.8kWh or £26 a month (actually a bit less than this as I'm on an economy 7 tariff which halves the costs per kWh overnight, I went with worst case as the server uses more energy during the weekend days).

Would be interesting to boot up the old server and check use there, willing to bet a dual Xeon X5670 machine with spinning rust for storage would be far higher than the current Xeon E5 2690 v4 with M.2s in there (a quick Google search indicates 174W for a machine with less hardware than my old server, at idle)

Mine is about 600w and is mostly powered by solar but if it weren’t would cost me $13 at USD0.03/kwh

[–] Jclj2005@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Ha mine is 10x that

[–] weredev@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

What are you using to view and chart your power usage?

[–] mapnet@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

About 250w. Cost of power on average 5 cents (€) per kWh. Often much lower than that. Last week it was negative. Don’t really care about the cost of electricity. 🇫🇮

[–] SirLagz@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

About 300W, ~7kWh a day, costs me about $80 AUD a month.

[–] diamondsw@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Mine is sadly over an order of magnitude higher than this...

[–] zuzuboy981@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

UPS load - 50W average. 13¢/KW. About $4.8/month
