Motherboard/CPU Compatibility Issues

[Liam000000]

I recently bought a motherboard from Amazon for a new system i'm building, I have bought an i5 2400 to go in it, once I boot it up I get a message saying the CPU isn't supported which i though was weird so I go to Asus' website to find the CPU support list and I couldn't find the model on their English website anywhere, I could find similar models and the i5 2400 isn't listed. I go to Google to search for it and I find it on Asus' Spanish website and the CPU support list claims to support the i5 2400 so at this point i'm just confused so I turn to the manual and it says the max TDP for that board is 77w and the i5 2400 is 95w. Once I press f1 to get pass the error message the PC works fine.

 

Is it safe for me to continue using this board with this CPU?

Not really sure. It should be fine since they are the same socket. maybe you received defective motherboard.

Will I burn out my motherboard by going over the TDP?

No. Shouldn't do.
