My only complaint, when I doubled my ram from 128g to 256g of ddr4… it added another 100w of power usage. :-(

Surely there’s no way that’s just the ram… did you also double your workload or something?

A possible explanation is that the new ram sticks requires another memory channel to be active

Every ddr4 ram module (8g of ram), uses around 3w. I have 256g of it.

That is 32 modules * 3 = 96 watts.

This is also ECC server ram, might be safe to say, it takes a bit more too.
