My idle power seams high at ~80 watts with only ESXI 5.5 All-in-one OmniOS/Nappit appliance. All VMs and vCenter powered off ~79 Watts. ESXI Power Management: Balanced vs. low power does not seam to matter. ~140 Watts under load (trans coding).
Any tricks I can use to lower the idle power for this home server?
