for most boards, it's a firmware thing.

many "gaming" boards have disabled lower C states outright and some don't even allow them to be enabled in the BIOS.
Some mainboards also have broken ASPM support.

So yes, in the end, a bad mainboard choice will cause a lot of power consumption (in the CPU, though).

Peripherals on the mainboard itself usually aren't that bad (as long as they don't have a 25GbE NIC :P)
