unlocked core 126w tdp ok on 95w board?

[miles249]

I unlocked my Athlon II x3 450 a few months back into a phenom II x4 b50 Propus which is nice but no level 3 cache. anyway its completely stable because its never crashed and I always play games and other stuff. but I noticed recently in cpuz it is now 126.2w TDP and my board says max 95w. my board is m4a78lt-m-le
if its over 95w and its been stable for months what does this mean?

Likely nothing. I would guess that unlocking the CPU has confused CPU-Z and it is simply misidentifying the CPU. If all is stable, don't worry about it.

if your cpu actually run at 125w you wouldn't be able to boot even on bios.Just a CPU-Z thing,nothing to make you worry.
