I have not measured my internal cards but they get hot so I am
thinking way more than 2.5 watts.  I am actually not sure how to
measure them except to measure total system power and take them out
and see the difference.  But total system power can vary depending on
lots of stuff so I have not bothered but my impression is more power.
