I'm looking at purchasing some used Epyc servers to build an HA cluster that won't break the bank but also won't burn down the building with power usage and I can't find any useful information on how do this without buying a few thousand in servers and just testing it.
I'm currently running 3x R530's each with 128gb of ram and a single E5-2699v4 each(overkill but I traded a used 2060 for the set of cpus in the outage). I don't need a ton of compute so I run them in minimum power mode on the power configuration and they run at about 50-80 watts at idle.
I have the budget for something fun (about $4,000 for the replacement cluster) so I'd like to go to epyc systems but I cannot find any useful information on running epyc systems in a low power mode like the xeon V4's supported, all reviews are on stock settings. As these are 90% idle I'm just trying to find something that matches what I have for idle now.
Any help would be amazing as even finding a regular idle for something like a R6415 or system combo is almost never mentioned outside of a "Look at all the performance per watt I can get", and I'd like a "Safety at idle performance too"
