I'm looking for a new processor and I have a Pegatron Carmel motherboard with chipset intel h61. My old processor is a Intel Pentium G620 and I'm looking to upgrade to something like the Intel Core i5-2500 but theres a TDP(wattage) difference of 30w. Will this be a problem?
Does it matter about the wattage when looking for a new processor?

Then you're going to run into one of two scenarios:
1) it won't work; it will register it as an unsupported CPU, and will fail to POST.
2) it will work; but it will put extra strain on VRM and MOSFETs as the power required by the CPU is more than the motherboard was intended to provide.
