When looking at motherboards how do you see if a MOBO would support a 125W or 95W CPU? if using a 125W cpu what type of cooling would be best? Can you stick to the heatsink and fan combo or do you have to use liquid cooling?

Do you ever have to worry about watts with intel CPUs?
 
Solution
You check motherboard manufacturer web site and read specs of that motherboard (supported CPU list for example). :)

Only few Motherboards have watt limit for their CPU , like the Externally powered Thin ITX motherboards , They limit you to 65Watts CPU

but in General , Most of the motherboards will take all the Range of the compatible CPU.
