think i saw something about there being possibly something in the new mobo bios to deal with that by giving more power the cpu at idle than it actually needs?
yeah that would make sense.

Yeah.
"VR-Zone claims that those idle states require as little as 0.05 amps of current, which could be too nuanced for older or cut-rate supplies that deliver power in bigger clumps. That might not be a problem for companies building complete PCs, but Corsair's Robert Pearce tells The Tech Report that it may lead to a lot of motherboard builders playing it safe by disabling those specific modes by default. Many of us, in turn, would either have to buy a fresh supply or toggle the power-saving options ourselves."
just a quick bios config i see
