I think Phenom II 925 rev. C3 might deserve a SPCR review

My sample idles at 54-55 watts when undervolted.

Undervolting also helped a lot on load wattage, it went from 180 watt to 125.

Other specs:

Gigabyte GA-MA78G-DS3H (integrated graphics)
2 x 2 GB RAM DDR2
Seasonic S12 380
1 x Samsung F2 EcoGreen
2 x Hitachi 5K160 2,5"
1 x optical disc 7240s
1 x card reader

The 965 should also be on it's way in a C3 revision, it might be even more interesting. But maybe it's even better to review both at once - for instance in a short-review.

After running this system for about 3 weeks, where it's been stabil, I'd like to add my undervolting results:

Idle: 0,74 volt / 800 MHz
Load: 1,18 volt / 2800 MHz

Voltages read through SpeedFan.

It's been available for two months.
