RAM uses the same amount of power under high load as low load due to the way it is constantly refreshing the contents.

Each stick of DDR4 is going to consume on the order of 1.2w (idle CPUs can theoretically go lower than this).

I’d rather shut a whole machine down than go to the effort of offlining individual DIMMs, since the consumption is so low and quite static.
