Your PC uses 60w idling? Is that with screen? It's not too much in that case. CPUS and GPUS have gotten a lot better at idle power consumption, and PSUs are also quite efficient these days.

- namibj 5y agoDownvolt and downclock your RAM when possible. Turn off VRM phases when not needed (also on the GPU; RAM should be handled properly already on it). Allow package-C6. Turn on PCIe power saving stuff. There is a bunch of stuff that mildly hurts performance and greatly improves efficiency in intermittent workloads, by letting hardware sleep/power-off when not needed.
