How did you achieve these power consumption values? Which operating system, BIOS and driver versions did you use?
I also recently got a Ser8 and it consumes a lot more power under Windows. I have the latest BIOS (V029 from 10/23/2024).
In each case the OS is freshly installed, with the latest drivers (and the drivers from Beelink as a test), no other devices connected, no programs open, idle in the desktop, I measure the following power consumption via a Wifi socket (so not calibrated, but it's enough to estimate the value)
Windows 10 1809 LTSC: – Power consumption: 30 – 40 watts
Windows 11 24H2: – Power consumption: 18 – 21 watts
Ubuntu 24.04 LTS – Power consumption: 8 – 9 watts
Under Windows I noticed an abnormally high CPU utilisation due to the process 'system' and frequent system interrupts. 'system' can be resolved to ntoskrnl.exe in the properties. Windows 10 1809 LTSC: – CPU load: never below 5% Windows 11 24H2: – CPU load: never less than 2%
I think the CPU load is the reason for the alarmingly high power consumption in idle mode. The reason is probably poor BIOS customisation and/or a driver problem.
The SER8 brings about the biggest redesign we've seen for the SER series. Its new Apple-like appearance definitely exhumes professionalism without costing an arm and a leg.
