Posted January 27, 2016 ok, so i've spent a good deal of time googling, and haven't been able to find one solid answer. the motherboard that i have is the ASRock N68C-GS4 FX, which is supposed to be a 95w socket. im currently using a Phenom X4 9950 BE, which is a 125w processor. so far i have not had any problems. im considering upgrading to the fx 9370, which is a 220w. will the board still be able to power it? do i just have to worry about over heating? (i do have a decently new powersupply, cx600m from corsair. -just a side note, it would only be a temporary setup until i get a different board.

Posted January 27, 2016 I wasn't aware there was such a thing as socket voltage. As long as it's the right socket and you have enough power to supply you should be good.

Don't upgrade to this CPU until you have a decent board (990, 990FX) with solid VRMs on it. Just a friendly advice, if you don't want to blow up your motherboard Just tag @ChatDaw so I can answer as fast as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
