power consumption

Whenever I passthrough any USB device to a VM, C-states stop working and the idle power usage go from 9w to 20w. I experienced it with the BT adapter passthrough in my HAOS VM and RTLSDR v4 with DragonOS VM. Removing these devices from the "hardware" tab restores the power save functionality...

Hi All, A very quick question. I have 4 hard drives installed into my proxmox server, they are totally unused, don't even have a GPT partition on them. How can I get Proxmox to spin them down when not in use? For reference, I know that spinning down HDDs will ultimately reduce their life...

Hello all, I am curious about the behavior I am seeing while using amd_pstate=active in my grub configuration. I have EPP set to "balance_performance" and the scaling governor set to "powersave". This seems to so far to be the best method for power reduction without totally killing performance...

Hello, at the moment I am thinking about shifting my Proxmox VE to a new server. First some information about my system running at the moment: Mainboard: GA-MA69G-S3H CPU: Intel Core i5-4690S (old CPU model from the year 2014) The system runs with 7 VMs and 4 LXCs at around 40% CPU load. The...

I use a computer with 2 Xeon Gold 6140 CPUs to install proxmox. When the machine is idle, I check the frequency and it is running at the base frequency (2.3 Ghz) for all cores. The driver being used is intel_pstate. Governor mode is "performance". - When I switch the governor to "powersave"...

I recently switched to proxmox on a Dell OptiPlex 7050: 3.4 GHz Intel Core i5-7500 Quad-Core 32GB of 2400 MHz DDR4 RAM 512GB SSD NVMe PCIe no spinning disks baseline power consumption: 28W (thus without any VM's running) Is this OK? Some people suggest that it is rather high, but when I run...

The machine on which i have proxmox 6.2 VE installed is not constantly in use but runs at max CPU all the time. I installed acpid to have it manage CPU states properly. When i run yacpi or acpitail i get a message suggesting ACPI is not available for this system. The BIOS has all power managed...

Hey everyone, can someone tell me if this will work how i think: Ryzen 3 3200G for example has integrated graphics (APU), is it possible with proxmox to passthrough the APU to a win10 VM or does grapics passthrough only work with real GPUs? If APU passthrough is possible: Will the APU part of...
