Since the world / Earth already faces some serious energy consumption/supply and pollution problems, the purpose of
The <100W idle System Power Club
is about to
Make a Difference in Energy Efficiency.
** Preamble **
Honestly, I´m tired of PC forum posts like "Turn off SpeedStep / Cool´n`Quiet to gain max performance" or "Why does my computer only show 1GHz CPU clock? Damn, I bought a 2.5 GHz one!!".
We live in what we use(d) to call a "free world" but we all know that this idea depends on the viewer´s perspective. Okay, enough with that.
Let´s get back to the club itself.
Please do not submit any posts to this topic if you don´t agree in the reasonability of saving energy!
** Thank you! **
How to join the club:
1) Post a photo which shows a power consumption meter reading your PCs idle system power is less than 100W.
2) Please post every single powered component inside your PC case (that isn´t listed in your system specs).
3) Detailed descriptions about various settings effecting your PC´s power consumption are welcome!
If you like, submit a more specific image showing your system power consumption!
So we can create a rank list for each of the following modes:
Standby (PSU On)
BIOS Menu
OS idle
Everest System Stability Test (> stress everything)
FUR Benchmark
