Hello all, so as the title says, will 125 watt CPU work good with 95 watt mobo? My mobo recently failed (GA-MA69G-S3H) (No Boot, No POST, No Beeps) and I got to get a new one. I'm not sure which CPU model do I have exactly. It's AMD Athlon 64 X2 (AM2 Socket), that's all I know. It's a 3GHz CPU so I guess it has to be the 6000+ model. As checked on GIGABYTE website, there are 2 types of AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+. There's a 89 watt model and a 125 watt model (according to gigabyte website). And so I don't know which model do I have ( I didn't built it, I bought it second hand). I suspect that the mobo could fail because the CPU could be 125watt and mobo supports up to 95 watt (actually not sure how much it support, I couldnt find any info about TDP for this mobo on gigabyte's website). So the thing is that I got a AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ (seems like that, that's the only one that has 3GHz speed) but I dont know if it is a 89 watt or a 125 watt and I need to buy a new mobo that support 125 watt I guess but I'm not sure. So here is the real question:
1.Will the 125 watt CPU work with a 95 watt mobo? (If not, could you recommend me a mobo that will work with this CPU? probably will have to be a 125 watt mobo) I've done research on that but its not that easy as this will be my first time changing a mobo. I was looking at BIOSTAR N68S+ Ver. 6.x mobo and the website says it is recommended to use 95 watt CPU.
Thanks in Advance
