No power draw measured – values estimated from GPU TDP + CPU (idle + 15 %) + board.

All values above and the charts below take the configured system utilization into account: at X% the system generates only X% of the time, the rest it idles (0 W). Cost per hour drops (more idle), cost per token rises.
