So many replies here... but sorry, I don't get some of the terms. Thanks for the help. Before I proceed, I'll share the full setup details. Motherboard - Gigabyte Sniper 5 Intel Z87 - CPU - i7 4700K - RAM - 4 x 8GB - HDD - 8 x 6TB Toshiba enterprise drive - SSD - 2 x 256GB SSD - 10G network card (Intel) - Corsair H100 AIO - 3 120mm case fans to cool the hard drives - 2 80mm case fans as exhaust (server 4U chassis) -650W Corsair PSU - OS - TRUE NAS (FreeBSD based) Now, I adjusted the CPU multiplier from 35 to 30. However, it doesn't let me change the Vcore setting. The displayed value is around 0.985V, which lets my power draw stay near 126W even at idle. Also, keep in mind the power usage I'm referring to is the total at the wall outlet for the entire system.

Based on the components you're using, it doesn’t look like things will get too low. I’m aware that my board offers many choices for power conservation, particularly within the Windows board software.
