I think the best option is to simply google for i5 4460 power consumption reduction
Only people who have tried this before, can give you some info,]]> Thu, 18 Aug 2022 18:09:11 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=19634&PID=101027&title=minimize-idle-power-draw-35-watt-reasonablepound#101027 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=19634&PID=90419&title=minimize-idle-power-draw-35-watt-reasonablepound#90419 Author: gd64

Hello,

since my system will be running in idle mode for most of the time I want to have as low as possible of a system power usage.

Here are my current figures:

    54 Watts for System > UEFI menu entered, no HDDs connected to the PC
    35 Watts operating system loaded, idle, no HDDs - same as above

Can the 35 Watts still be optimized?

I know that my 10 GBit HP network card (PCIe) will draw around 10 Watts alone.

Other than that nothing else but the USB thumb drives, 1x 1 GBit LAN, 1x 10 GBit LAN are connected.

I need to check the UEFI setup for

    IGPU of the Intel CPU
    CPU values - currently at "Auto"

System:

Intel Core i5-4460 @ 3.20GHz with AES-NI support
32 GByte RAM

onboard 1 Gigabit ethernet Intel I217V
1x HP FlexFabric 10Gb 2-port 533FLR-T using an adapter
