Can we run a processor AMD of 220 watts of TDP (Thermal Design Power) on a motherboard Asus of which the maximum TDP is 140 watts without risks for both of the components? Thank you for your help.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Thank you for your help.
Hmmmm, a hardware question. I will look for someone here who may provide insight. In the meantime, anyone in the community have any design insight here?
I would imagine you will not get a definitive yes - I assume there would be dependencies on the housing, cooling, and the resilience of the Asus motherboard. But I'm hoping we can either give you clues or perhaps a definitive no.
Not my world.
I did locate a resource with some ideas.
"... check the official CPU support list for the MB. If the FX-9370/9590 are not listed, it will not operate correctly. For a current list of motherboards that support the AMD FX-9000 series please check PCPartpicker (URL). Additionally, our system guidelines for FX specify that a chassis fan in positioned near the CPU socket to ensure airflow over the power circuitry and northbridge chipset. An aftermarket cooling solution should be used and not the AMD heatsink/fan supplied with 125W FX processors; we bundle the Cooler Master Seidon 120XL with the FX-9000 series which work well."
I hope this helps.
Thank you for your help.
