Do these EPYCs usually go this low when idling? I ask because im considering getting one but it would idle more than 50% of the time, or would waiting for 5c make more sense?
I find 19 Watts surprisingly low. I know that the mainboard and peripherals would consume more, but my system running a 5950x, which im planning to upgrade to an EPYC, idles at around 130 Watts.

- Tostino 2y agoYeah, that is quite high. My 2x 3090 with 7950x and 96gb of ram idles around 70 watts.
- c0balt 2y agoThat idle is unusually high, you should check for your cpu governor (if the host is Linux, use AMD state with balanced, otherwise refer to Windows power settings). If you talk about system idle (instead of CPU idle) then a dGPU can also have a significant impact.

- chainingsolid 2y agoI own a 5950x, that 130 number sounds extremly wrong for idle. I'd recommand checking settings in bios. I'm getting around 7-20 depending on which number I read in Ryzen Master, so adding in the gpu idle of around 30-40, I'm around half of 130 for the entire system! I'll also add low idle power would make scence for a server owner, so I could see AMD priorizing it..
