  1. @gnoboot

    I saw your recent blog posting about cpu power management. Great that you have this still in mind.

    As I read in serveral forums linux powersaving with modern (haswell) cpu is quite tricky, but I'm not a linux developer :wink: . Also sata link power management seems to be a big thing for good idle power values.

    Best power management is only achieved in Windows* and when several drivers are installed (Intel Inf, RST, GPU, Audio, Lan, MEI).

  2. XPEnology would be my 1st choice NAS platform for Desktop PC if ther wasn't the high idle power consumption related to Windows platform.

    I tested AsRock H87MPro4 + i3 4130 + 4GB RAM + 2x2TB 3,5"HDD.

     

    XPEnology 4.3 build 3810++ (repack v1.0)

    Normal ~30W

    idle ~25W

     

    same system with WHS2011

    Normal ~20W

    idle ~12W

     

    Main thing as far as I know are the intel RST and GPU drivers and of course the cpu handling for C-states under Windows OS.

     

    Is there any chance to get better CPU power handling out of the xpenology OS?
