I aim to build a new homeserver lately.
Upon researching I found the RM550X by Corsair as a power efficient option under low loads.
The sad part is, that its available nowhere.
Does someone know a valid alternative, that does not cost more than the whole build?
DL360 ≠ DL380
But you’ve done a nice job of proving my point. You have a system that you have to hack together your drive storage, since it can’t accommodate 3.5" drives. You have have a system that has abysmal single thread performance. You have a system that has overall less compute power than a $240 midrange desktop CPU, yes uses over twice the power. You have a system that has no hardware media encoding.
I’ll add, I certainly don’t trust ILO to report accurate power draw. Measure from the wall. Each of your CPU’s pulls over 120w by themselves alone at 100% utilization. So either your weren’t pushing them, or your numbers are off. You should have been pulling 300w at a minimum.
