Energy efficiency on a motherboard

ASUS’ P5K PRO claims to be a green board, having three different modes in which you can run and save power. While the claims that ASUS makes are upwards of 50% savings, the total system power draw doesn’t actually dip by that much. It does certainly save power when compared to the P5KC, especially when placed into the nap mode. See how well the board performs in Big Bruin’s full review.
