Max cpu powerusage MOBO?

[Bernd_]

I am a first time builder and read something about a motherboard about it's max tdp (80w in this particular case). I am wanting to put a cpu in the mobo which uses more than 100w is this a problem or does the tdp not apply to the socket?

List the motherboard or google it thay have a list of the supported processors on the motherboard manufactures site

It says my cpu is supported (95w) but I am wanting to OC so it will go above that. Does that matter?

The Thermal Design Power (TDP) is the average maximum power a processor can dissipate while running commercially available software. TDP is primarily used as a guideline for manufacturers of thermal solutions (heatsinks/fans, etc) which tells them how much heat their solution should dissipate.

If motherboard has a max TDP of 80w in this particular case, then using a CPU with TDP above that could damage the motherboard from too much thermal heat.
