though i thought i would get lower idle power consumption by going from a P55 i5 750@3.8GHz (with all the power saving features ON) to this board with 2600k@ 4.5GHz, it wasn't the case. new system uses about 5W more than the old one when doing nothing. it could be that the Z68 isn't as good as P67 when it comes to power draw, as you have to have the iGPU powered up all the time. but stil...aren't the reviews showing a 25W or more less power draw at idle for the SB? iGPU can't be using 30W!!!

127W vs 133W, system power draw from the mains + wireless router. (measured from the main power meter with every other appliance unplugged)
