Monitor CPU usage and frequencies to ensure CPU is throttling down properly. Then start unplugging hard drives, ram, nic cable to see how they affect power usage. Servethehome shows an N305 idling around 10w in a minipc without HDDs.

Troubleshooting can be difficult. I'll only say you'll save yourself alot of time and energy by establishing a baseline for power usage with just the essential components necessary for boot to see what you're working with. Then you can make better informed decisions.
