I recently upgraded mobos so it's no longer an important concern, just curiousness. I have a Phenom II x4 940 @ 125W TDP. My old board was only rated at 89W TDP.
I've ran some stress tests and have come to the conclusion that the processor is fine. My question is: By putting the processor in a motherboard that could not provide adequate power, could I have damaged the processor, and how?
