Sorry that I keep asking the same question for different products, but what kind of idle power consumption can I expect from the RB4011iGS+RM?

Nothing connected: 7.5 watt.

That's quite a lot. Is there no way to reduce the idle power consumption somehow?

It is possible that in upcoming ROS versions all ARM-based devices will see lower idle power consumption, MT implemented dynamic CPU frequency scaling on those platforms ... which should help save a watt or two and decrease CPU temperature a bit.

That would be great! Because I am just falling in love with MikroTik devices.
