Good evening everbody. I would like to upgrade my CPU from i5 4460 to 4790k, however, my motherboard supports wattage up to 84W, but the CPU is 88W. Would there be any problems if i put the CPU into motherboard?
Thanks for response!

In that case, I would not and go with the 4790, which is supported. Prebuilts are far more likely to have BIOS issues with upgrades that aren't specifically supported.
