Hrm, interesting to see how the TDP of those 8358s drives overall power consumption. I'm looking at the idrac consoles of a couple R720XDs with 12 3.5" hdds, >128gb ram, two E5-2665s per, and they're all currently sipping ~150W at < 1 load average. The E5s have a TDP of 115W to the 8358's 250W, so I assume that's what's most of it. I admittedly do some special IPMI fan stuff, but that only shaves off tens of watts.
