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
    MB https://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/B85" rel="nofollow - https://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/B85 Pro4/index.asp
    onboard 1 Gigabit ethernet Intel I217V
    1x HP FlexFabric 10Gb 2-port 533FLR-T using an adapter

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,
