Your NAS's bios power settings almost certainly need tweaking to reflect the current state of energy prices. I did with my Intel NUC and got my 24/7 power usage down 40% with no noticeable performance impact.
- totoglazer 4y agoCurious what you tweaked.
- walthamstow 4y agoFrom memory it was CPU power settings down from max performance to balanced, and I turned turbo boost off. The former lowers the idle wattage and the latter lowers the peak. 8th gen i7 now idles at 8W, which is pretty decent for 24/7. It's just a Plex server and has x265 hw decoding so there's really no reason for it to be tuned for high CPU performance.
