Thread: 140w Motherboard

So would a 140w socket AM3 board offer sufficient power for an overclocked Phenom II x3 720BE or a Phenom II x4 955? If not, that will damage my improve plans because I have to acquire a classier motherboard.

Yes I believe so.

All the present phenom IIs is simply 140 watt.

The novel power competent ones are 125.

Don’t you convert, the 720 is merely 95w, a 140 watt board is excess by 45w, your quite secure, oddball that baby up to 3.6.

Yes but the power custom goes up when it's overclocked; you don't believe an overclocked Phenom II x6 will be more than 140watts (if I acquire one that is).

Perhaps. Perhaps not. Something informs me that the Phenom II x6 will devour the same sum of energy as present Phenom II x4 140w TDP cpus.

Don’t be too speedy, there have been many information that state that the x6 will be well-matched with AM3, but some aren’t certain, because in the roadmap, the socket is scheduled as AM3 R2, also, USB 3.0 and sata6 are imminent, also, the 890fx chipset series are ready to launch with thuban, so I won’t actually overdo on a board right now.

Okay well I might be receiving it in the directions of the start of summer if I acquire good grades (lol, prolly not but I’m very persuasive). I don't actually mind not having USB3 tbh because it won’t be very extensively used originally.
