Comment on Servers go Brrrrrr

Lol I’ve got like 2-3 ACs then 😂
I have to split power between 3 different circuits that are near my office in order to keep each one within the 80% rule in the event I’m putting heavy load on them
…I really need to get an electrician out to put in a 240 line 😅…

I’ve been measuring my server rack’s power usage, and it usually sits at around 500W with a 1U + 2U server (and GPU). My plan for the 1U has been to colocate it, but it’s an extra $25/month for each 100W increment, so I’ve been trying things like lowering the CPU power limit to save some money. Apparently turning my 200W EPYC CPU down to 150W barely makes a difference in my workloads, but that 50W is enough to save me quite a bit.
