TO GET THE FULL BENEFITS OF C3, THE MOTHERBOARD NEEDS A BIOS UPDATE! A lot of these sites are testing it without the new BIOSes. The Northbridge has p-states now that are obviously not in use (as the NB clock is running full speed) in all the tests I've seen. We should see even more power savings coming.
Has it been confirmed yet that the NB can be "cooled" with CnQ in idle? If so this will be 1337sauce cause I could change NB multi while booted
