Interesting. My 3950x draws (wall power) approximately 67/68W in idle. I'm on a Bxxx chipset and a 6600 XT, which should both consume little in idle mode, and 3 SSD, which consume little.
I haven't read much, but it t seems the range of around 40/60W seems fairly normal in idle, for a modern system (both Intel/AMD). I remember a former system of mine consumed 32/33W though; I think it was an AMD 6800K.
- nottorp 4y agoWell I picked the 5600G because it was advertised as 65 W (well and because it allows me not to decide on a video card yet). Your CPU is advertised as 105 W. TDP is a lie these days but the lying should be proportional :) At a quick google, the 6600 xt idles at 4W with one monitor but at 20 W with two! Plus whatever extra power the motherboard needs to keep that pcie slot active. Two extra ssds may consume little but that can be like 4-5 W more. It all adds up.
