    Modern hardware is incredibly power hungry - to squeeze marginal gains out of hardware they’re being pushed to the power hungry side of operation. On the high end a 5090 and an intel 285 / 265 is 825 watt TDP nominal before other hardware.

    On that note, you can significantly reduce power consumption by undervolting your hardware. Everything is overclocked out of the box.

      I wouldn’t expect someone living in a trailer to own a 5090.

      Yeah, my Ryzen 5700X is undervolted, I was thinking about undervolting my RX6800
