YOUR Ryzen 3xxx Idle Power Consumption watts - POST NOW !!!

(1/2) > >>

frogblender:
How many watts does your new Ryzen 3xxx system suckle from the AC Mains teat when idle?
 :bullshit:

I asked the same question at TomsHardware, and a mod responded "Most people have no equipment to measure mains power consumption. I don't think you will get too many responses".   Alas, it appears he's correct.  Which begged the question:  What kind of useless wanker doesn't have an AC power meter?

So I turn to the eevblog, where men are Men, and women are Women, and any dude or dudette worth their salt has a bloody AC mains power meter (seriously - $20 dang dollars for a P3 Kill-A-Watt, or $12 for the "UL sticker my ass" version: Mains Power Meter)

Anyhoo, for reference, my i7-4790 with GTX750ti idles around 32watts - measured by my kill-a-watt meter. But all of the Zen2 numbers I've seen are double, or more. wtf?
So please, post your Zen2 system idle power consumption now!

Please post in a similar format, stating "OC" if you overclock, chipset (X570 for example is a known-guzzler) and note other system components that might skew your numbers.


Fictitious Examples:

Ryzen 5 3600 (OC), X570: 145watts (system has a custom 3kg graphics card, extra beefcake)

or

Ryzen 9 3950x (stock), X470: 66watts

Mechatrommer:
man dont buy Ryzen, women here were mostly men :palm: but we do have some equipments that can measure that easy. afaik, there will be 1 or 2 guys that can help you on this, if they happen to pass by... well, this is helpful!? :P

It includes losses in PSU, motherboard and other hardware. It is no wonder if idle consumption in different systems with the same CPU can vary 3 times or even more.

My Ryzen 3950X takes exactly 0W, as it doesn't exist. Throw that in your chart :-P
I am definitely looking at their chips though, what we do have for the 3950X is /really/ impressive.

wraper:
Apparently CPU itself consumes <10W https://www.techquila.co.in/amd-ryzen-3000-cpus-ccx-overclocking-idle-power/
