Update on my
previous post on my system's power consumption:
- AMD Ryzen PRO 5750g
- Seasonic Focus SGX-500 SFX-L
- 128 GB ECC RAM (Crucial MTA18ASF4G72AZ-3G2R)
- 2x SATA SSD, 4x 14TB HDD, 1x NVME
- TrueNAS 24.10 Electric Eel
- TrendNet SFP+ 10gbe NIC (AQC100)
- Two Arctic P8 PWM PST CO fans and two Arctic S8038-7k fans at about 2k RPM
- Thermalright TL-9015R fan (on CPU heatsink) at about 1500 RPM
- Coral USB AI accelerator
This is a fairly idle home server. I am running Frigate NVR, which keeps the system lightly loaded (and the Coral USB permanently active).
The first week on the 5750G, total system draw averaged about
62 watts.
Since my last post, I tweaked the PBO settings to what should be 45W eco mode. After those changes, average draw is about
57 watts.
When I swapped out the original 5700x for the 5750g, I did notice that the BIOS options changed a bit (as has been observed previously in this thread). With the 5700x, I did have a straightforward "45W ECO Mode" setting, but that does not seem to exist with the 5750g. This is the menu path I went through to tweak the PBO settings with the 5750g:
- Advanced Tab
- AMD CBS
- NBIO Common Options
- XFR Enhancement
- Accepted
- Precision Boost Overdrive
- Manual
- PPT Limit: 61
- TDC Limit: 45
- EDC Limit: 65
- Precision Boost Overdrive Scalar: Auto
Is there official AMD documentation on these PBO settings? I just found those values on some random Reddit posts. It would be nice to reference a formal document.
Anyway, I'm pretty happy with this setup, as I think it's a nice balance of compute power versus electric efficiency.
