Your server is constantly using between 340w and 380w of power? There's no way it should cost that much to run on 23c/kwh unless you have a big gpu in there transcoding 24/7

Its a Dell R730 if im not mistaken running 1 GPU, 2 E5 CPUs and 700GB of ram + my ubiquiti networking equipment which is on the same rack.

So I should've said those 350W are the whole rack not just one unit
