Configure Ryzen 5 Pro for energy efficiency similar to Ryzen Pro 5 GE.
You can configure your Ryzen 5 Pro G to operate more efficiently, similar to the Ryzen 5 Pro GE. This setup may help lower power consumption when keeping the system active as a file server. Your Fatal1ty B450 Gaming-ITX/ac board already supports a Ryzen 3 Pro GE, but you should verify if it meets your gaming needs before making changes.
If it's operating as a file server with idle mode enabled, options are limited. C will likely shut down the CPU, and undervolting offers minimal benefit. The CPU will consume less than 5 watts at idle. Other components such as storage, power supply, RAM, and the GPU also draw significant power. Eliminate any unnecessary hardware. You can adjust the power delivery temperature (TDP), but it won't make much difference since the system isn't operating close to its maximum power draw.
This suggests the GE processor shines in demanding tasks rather than everyday use.
