[SOLVED] TDP Cooler 150w, Mobo 130w max TDP

[tom4208]

will this work!? I have a asus p5e vm hdmi with max tdp of 130w and a cpu heatsink cooler which says 150w tdp on the box. will this mobo support my cooler? does it mean my cooler can handle up to 150w tdp? or this is what my cooler will be using 150w tdp while on this mobo

Yes it will work.

No, it means that motherboard supports CPUs that are up to 130W while the cooler can cool CPUs that are up to 150W.

No problems of that nature should occur, just check for socket compatbility.
