My home server was serving a dual purpose of keeping my closet full of 3d printer filament dry, but then the most recent TrueNAS Scale updates killed it by dropping my average CPU load from 10 to 4%.

    Just open a few Chrome tabs. That'll ramp the resource usage back up again.

    Does ram really have that much thermal load/power draw? I don't even account for it when I'm picking a power supply.

    Just start a scan with a second anti-virus, they'll fight it out and warm up your house quite nicely.

    Or double dip and mine crypto when it's cold out.

    Even for a large amount of RAM that you'd find in a big server, it's a few dozen watts at most. Here's some charts showing the jump from DDR3 to DDR4 on a 16GB stick:

    DDR5 dropped the voltage from 1.2V to 1.1V compared to DDR4, which tends to make it even more power efficient. Not quite as dramatic as DDR3 to 4, but in any case, it's better still.
