Hey friends,
I recently installed proxmox on a simple machine with intel CPU, 1 M.2 NVME SSD and 32GB of DDR5 RAM. I found that my power usage was on the high side for being idle with only 1 (M.2) SSD - around 45W at idle. When I check my powertop I see that even though my Cores are reaching C7, my pkg C state does not even reach C2 or higher. Using i7z (another tool to measure CPU states), I see that most (about 99%) of my CPU is in C1.
I already ran the powertop autotune and put my cpu governor to powersave. What could be the issue here?
