Any experience with Zen 1 idle power consumption running Proxmox? (lemmy.world)

Hi, I'm planning an doing an upgrade to my hardware and I'm eying a used Ryzen 1700 or Ryzen 1800 (they are dirt cheap now and have an excellent upgrade path once people sell of their Ryzen 5000 CPUs).

I'm however a bit concerned about the idle power consumption of such a System. My plan in terms of Software is to migrate my existing Proxmox System which is running 4 VMs and 6 LXC containers at the moment. Most of which are at < 3% CPU Ut. 99% of the day. Has anyone got any numbers or rough estimates how big the idle power draw of such a System would be? For a graphics card (just to have some kind of display output) I plan to use a GTX 220.

I tried proxmox with a Ryzen 1400, a GTX1060 Ti, 3 HDD, 1 NVMe. On proxmox I had a couple of VM and 1 CT. I had 70W on idle which is too much for me :)
