Which fom factor do you have? And did you install powertop and tlp? The newer Intel CPUs need a little more power in idle. Old comment as reference: https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/comments/m4oif7/comment/gqvs35l/
I had an optiplex 3060 micro with 8500t, 24gb ram and 2 ssds idling around 3-5watts.
I have Kodi running in a docker container with gui (even HDR support) on my otherwise "headless" server. Kodi just has the most flexibility because of it's plugins.
