The Q670 chipset supports 8 sata ports, so this board should not have either asm1166 or jmb585. This should equate to very low power consumption at idle if higher c-states are properly implemented.Does anyone have this board on hand? Curious about its idle power consumption and whether it uses ASM1166 for the onboard SATA ports or JMB585.
Do manufacturers usually list CSTATE guarantees on spec sheets? I’ve surveyed a couple of different motherboards but cannot find any information. Or do you happen to know if CWWK has a good history of low power (non N) motherboards?The Q670 chipset supports 8 sata ports, so this board should not have either asm1166 or jmb585.

Judging by what I’ve read in these forums about their n100/n305 boards, c-states do not seem to be a priority for the motherboard engineers that write the bios. However, with the Q670 chipset supporting all of this motherboard’s devices without the need for additional external controllers there should be no reason why this board shouldn’t be able to reach high c-states. Especially if only aspm capable add-on devices are used.Do manufacturers usually list CSTATE guarantees on spec sheets?
