high energy consumption at IDLE 30-40W
sometimes, for few seconds, below 30W

it should be around 12-15W, right?

I am not sure what other cards use during idle, but my Strix 3080 oc uses around 48w during idle. I have 2x1440p@60+@165 screens. Actually seems sort of reasonable to me, but I did never question it.
