(I posted this elsewhere in:

but it probably makes more sense to post it separately in its own thread here)
I'm still new to BI and last night I followed the optimisation steps to try and reduce cpu load.
The system I'm using is an i5-6600, 16GB ram, WD purple for storage and a 256GB NVME drive for the system. I've currently only got 3 cameras and they are on motion record. I also have a power meeting plugged into the power point that the lead for the pc is plugged into (eg a Kil-a-watt in the US....or the meter supplied at Jaycar in Aus).
With my initial setup I had a cpu load at approx 30%, and the power draw from the wall was sitting at 28-30watts. After the optimisation, the cpu load dropped to approx 22%, however the power consumption of the pc rose to approx 38 watts.
I was hoping to reduce the power consumption due to the optimisation, but that wasn't the case. And, as I did the optimisation steps all together, and then rebooted the system, I'm not to sure which of the improvements lead to the higher power consumption.
Has anyone else looked at the power consumption of their rig and what could be done to reduce the power usage, rather than just cpu load?
Blue iris and CPU consumption as it relates to memory usage
For most basic setups blue iris does not require more than 4gb of memory. Additional memory may be useful when using many high resolution HD cameras. I recently had an issue with extremely high cpu consumption on the system outlined below. i7-4770, 4gb, memory SSD, HDD. BI4 8x3mp cameras...
