You're looking to reduce the idle power usage of your gaming PC. Besides disabling the integrated GPU and using Eco Mode, consider adjusting BIOS settings, updating drivers, or replacing components like the power supply if it's outdated. Checking for power-saving firmware updates can also help lower consumption.

Is that idle power the whole system or CPU power only? What OS? Is it a clean install with nothing running? Full system specs?

W10 system details show CPU package power usage. Minor background processes such as HWInfo Icue Afterburner are active. No significant activity detected otherwise.
