95TDP CPU on a 125TDP Board

[BadWaffle]

Anyone know the consequences for running a 95w CPU on a 125w Board?

nothing you want a higher max tdp on the mobo

So basically, The board will not go farther than the Chip is designed to unless you bump the voltage up in BIOS. Makes sense.

yes you actually want a nice margin so you dont stress the board and you could overclock
