Hi guys! Good day!

I've been attempting to setup a server using the Asrock H370M-HDV/M.2 motherboard. Specs below:

- Core i3 8100T

- Asrock H370M-HDV/M.2

- 2x8GB kit of RAM from Team Elite

- Orico 120GB SSD SATA boot drive

- Cooler Master MWE 450 watts bronze PSU

For the OS I used Ubuntu Server 24.04 updated.

I tried a couple tweaks below:

- I enabled all the settings in BIOS related to the ASPM

- Ran sudo powertop --auto-tune

- Ran AutoASPM script to enable the ASPM

git clone https://github.com/notthebee/AutoASPM

After performing all of this. I managed to reduce the power consumption to 12.4 watts in idle with no spinning drives at all and the powertop shows only that it goes C3.

When I executed the ASPM command it resulted in the photo I added.…
