You need to tell us the TDP of your CPU.That is the POWER.
Most CPUs in Intel 2nd gen have about 65-90Watts.
You choose yours.

Tell when you know your TDP.

Not at all, TDP is the amount of heat the CPU will create.

Nope TDP full form is THERMAL DESIGN POWER.When I know a TDP,I know how much heat it will generate so as per the USER's query,he mentioned not to FRY his Motherboard like a pair of chopped tuna so TDP is essential :)  :bounce:

Every CPU has (TDP and) also Tj Max ... Usually as long as you keep your Temperature as low as possible below your CPU's Tj Max, everything will be fine. :-)
