Hello all!
I suspended al reason an purchased a pile of hardware to set up my personal file server, just because i thought it would be good.
This ist the hardware:
MB Asrock Pro RS Intel H670
CPU Intel Core i5 13500
PSU be quiet Pure Power 11 400 W
SSD 1TB Lexar NM710 M.2
SSd 4TB Lexar NM790 M.2
RAM DDR4 Corsair 64GB (2x32) - One of them not working properly. Have to RMA.
I am using only the working one 32GB RAM atm.
My main issue is, that i really want to make this server run 24/7 with very low power consumption. But i can't get the power consumption below 23W with no guest VM running.
What i did until now:
- installed proxmox 8.1.3
- installed pihole in CT
- installed TrueNAS Core in VM
- installed Nextcloud inside of TrueNAS
- Tweaked BIOS settings:
+ Enabled CPU C-State support
+ Enbaled VT-d
+ Enabled PCIE ASPM support
- installed powertop and toggled all tunables
- Set CPU scaling governor to powersave (can only select powersave or performance)
With all this done powertop 2.14 shows this:
I gathered that apparently powertop 2.14 doesn't support c-states behond C3. So i checked:
To me that looks like the higher c-states are not available. But why? I am almost completely lost and inexperienced. Would really appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction.

I gathered that apparently powertop 2.14 doesn't support c-states behond C3. So i checked:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpuidle# ls
state0 state1 state2 state3
To me that looks like the higher c-states are not available. But why? I am almost completely lost and inexperienced. Would really appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction.
