Currently, it draws around 60 - 70W under normal load - that is miles better than the Ryzen which draws 120W constant in idle.
VM's work well and so far the power usage is totally ok.
System:
i7 8700 (With iGPU - which I use)
32GB Corsair RAM
512GB NVMe
bequiet Black Rock Cooler
Case: It does what it is supposed to (Don't care about that at all)
30 Euros invested for a cooler and off it went... seems good in my book 😎
