I got a new system which unfortunately was carelessly assembled it has a motherboard which supports cpu of 95 watt max tdp but the cpu AMD phenom ii X4 955be which is a 125 watt tdp cpu ,( I used it for a couple of weeks before I learned that) since then the machine is powered off (me being overcautious).
I was thinking about underclocking and undervolting the cpu to 2.8Ghz and 1.20 VCore voltage. Will it help,will the board survive the processor then?
system configuration:-
CM elite 311 cabinet
CM GX450W psu
ASUS M5A78LM-LX motherboard
AMD Phenom II X4 955BE processor
Power color 6770 graphics card
500 GB seagate barracuda harddisc
