Tower Server Hardware Advice Wanted

Not necessarily, and in reality probably not. A PSU rated for 650 watts isn't constantly drawing 650 watts, that 650 is the amount it can safely deliver into the computer. It can be drawing anywhere from 0 to around 800 from the wall. A decent amount of power is lost as heat in a PSU, the 80+ marking on them and various efficiency levels are all about how efficient the PSU is, how much power is lost between drawing it from the wall and getting it into your computer As a general rule of thumb most PSUs are most efficient when running at around 50% load and worst efficiency is below 10% and above 90% loads. Generally I don't worry much about this but for something you want to run 24/7 it's worth looking a bit deeper IMO, you can end up with surprising differences in your electricity bill. For a 300W expected draw something in the 550-650 watt range is probably going to near the top of the efficiency curve, and it might be worth going for a reputable gold+ PSU over something cheaper. It's all math, you can figure out when you'd break even on a bigger upfront cost and so on. Tom's Hardware has a long guide on this if you're curious https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/psu-buying-guide,2916-3.html

Fabric server optimizing

I've never seen so much time spent on fluidstate things in a profile before, definitely not getting much from the CPU 😅 You're missing ferrite-core as one of the great fabric optimisation mods but I doubt it'll help specifically here, you don't seem to be using much RAM and it's for optimising memory. I'd add it anyway, it tangentially helps with some things around GC too

Fabric server optimizing

No harm to get a spark profile and share it too if you want other advice than changing host
