Although I know the official site says "AB350M-HDV does not support 95W CPU.",I am wondering if it really cannot use 95W CPU.Has anyone tried 95W CPU on AB350M-HDV?And did it work?

Which CPU are you looking to drop on? Just off the top of my head, it's best you don't replicate the incident that took place a couple of years ago with FX series processors being plonked on inadequately equipped boards.

This motherboard support only 65W CPU's you can check the official CPU support list here:

If you are building the computer now then you will find motherboards that support 95W for like 5$ more. If not then look for non X models. Performance difference between 3600X and the 65W Ryzen 5 3600 is like 2% just get the 3600. Also note that you need the latest bios to run this CPU with this motherboard.
