But another question as i see you know a lot about power consumption:

When the mini pc says it needs 90 watts, i guess it isn’t running at full load all the time, especially as a node. Is the an estimated percentage of how much such a pc would use while idle? I can’t find this information for this specific device anywhere as it is an old model (aopen de7000).

Correct

You can view how much that model draws at idle either in the OS settings, or just look on web what that draws

- I see that model just requires a 90W power adapter. My guess would be at idle, it'd only draw ~20-25% of that

Oh that would be great if i can see it in the OS. Have not set it up yet but will check as soon as it’s running 💪

20-25% does not sound that much, maybe low enough to just keep it running 24/7 🙏
