Good point. I actually have a watt meter coming in the mail tomorrow. Will measure the idle consumption of the r430 and report back. This thing sits mostly at under 10% except when running backups or the machine learning algos for nextcloud image recognition.

It should have power monitoring in the idrac already.

  Good Point, idrac has issues on this server, I’ll take another crack at it and see if I can get it going.
  
  I tried with powerstat and powertop but no dice

Your UPS doesn’t show power consumption?

  It does but there’s a lot of other stuff connected that I can’t unplug. I ended up getting a kill a watt and since the server has redundant power supplies I checked by unplugging one at a time.
  
  I’m using 168W on an R430 with 2 E5-1220’s and 128 G and 8 spinners.
