Nope, the main effect of HP3 is to change the strapping on the 975x from 1066 to 800 so simple benchmarks would look better. This of course is overclocking the NB, which as we've all learned is the limiting factor to performance of this MB. The tRD value change (in some versions of the BIOS) also helped improve benchmark results, but that was just IMO a tweak.
