What exactly does C1E, and CPU C3 report etc.. do? When I disable them, my clock stays the same and is not downclocked. Even with speestep enabled. I was wondering what each of their functions was and if it's save to leave all the CPu CX reports and C1E turned off permanently?
I don't think there is any reason to disable them honestly, unless you are trying for 6 ghz or something, and even then I can't say they'd matter. They don't seem to be hindering overclocks this time around and I'd leave them on for 24/7.

Here's a SUPER in depth article on them, if you are so inclined:
