Kind of surprised me. I mean, it's not as low as my Deskmini units with G4600 CPUs and M.2 PCI-E SSDs, but it's not a horrible level of power-consumption at the desktop, especially with a (small) dGPU attached.
I haven't tested it under full load yet, I might do that soon. If I do, I'll try to remember to post it here too. Might fire up some DC for testing. I'm going to guess, though, 110W full CPU load w/dGPU on desktop, 140W full CPU+dGPU load. Let's see how correct I was.
All in all, I'm happy with this little under-$500 rig (with sales). My first FX purchase, arguably the "best" FX CPU to buy, based on power consumption. It does indeed turbo to 4Ghz, according to CPU-Z, occasionally. Most of the time, it's at 1400Mhz.
