This is my CPU - i5 2400 3.1's specification (see pic below)



This is my motherboard - Asus H61M-K specification (see pic below)



Thermal Design Power (TDP) represents the average power, in watts, the processor dissipates when operating at Base Frequency with all cores active under an Intel-defined, high-complexity workload. Refer to Datasheet for thermal solution requirements.




I can , at least understand a little bit about TDP which should mean the average heat released during operation of the CPU.

However, I don't understand what does that mean "Supports CPU up to 77 W"

Does that mean my CPU is not supported? or will my CPU or motherboard overheat to damage things???

I am confused, and worried.

I'm not sure where you got those screen shots from and I think you've gotten them mixed up at least seeing as you've shown the "cpu" on Asus's website and the "motherboard" on what looks like Intel's ark. But looking at the 2 components they should work together fine, especially considering Asus's website saying


"Intel® Socket 1155 for 3rd/2nd Generation Core™ i7/Core™ i5/Core™ i3/Pentium®/Celeron® Processors
Supports Intel® 22 nm CPU
Supports Intel® 32 nm CPU
Supports Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.0
* The Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 support depends on the CPU types.
* Refer to www.asus.com for CPU support list"
(https://www.asus.com/uk/Motherboards/H61MK/specifications/ for reference)


Hope this was helpful :)

I made screen capture for your convenience. It 's from official site here https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/H61MK/specifications/

It's said, supports CPU up to 77W, what does that mean?

I stand corrected; I don't think they will work together as to my understanding it means that the TDP of the cpu should only be 77Watts whereas the I5 2400 has a 95Watt TDP.
Also it's not on the list of supported CPU's on Asus's website so i'd stay clear on using the pair together.
I'd recommend the I5 3470 to use instead as it gives similar performance and is on asus's list of supported CPU's for that motherboard.
Sorry about my previous answer being unhelpful.

It's an old CPU and new board after my previous defected Asus board and recommended by the salesman and technician.

I've just called them today but they said ” spec is spec, reality is reality, it's fine, it's perfectly OK "

This is the capture. It looks like it will not have temp issue..

but could anyone experienced confirm to me?
