Motherboard and CPU compatibility
My motherboard is a MSI 880GMS-E35 and my processor is an AMD Phenom II X4 965 @ 3.4Ghz (125W)
I just realized today that my CPU, is not on the list of supported of processors. The maximum wattage listed is 95W! and my CPU is 125W.
I came across this by looking up what hexacore (6) processor I can use with my board; AMD Phenom II 1065T is listed and it's a 95W. But seeing that I'm running a CPU that is listed at 125W, would it stand to reason that a Phenom II 1100T (125W) would/should work?
My computer works fine, I play games often, watch movies, listen to music etc. Experiencing no problems whatsoever with my current setup. I just want to max out my system.

Wow, I'm very familiar with the 965 x4, great chip and you're right checked it out on MSI site end the mobo only supports 95 watt. I'm not sure what your CPU is running at but that the system boots and runs is .........amazing. Can you post a screen shot of CPU-Z? | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number A blend of brains, brawn and dumb luck, ask me about rig #2 !

Honestly I would be very cautious about any overclock and in fact you might consider shopping for a new mobo that will support that chip and also FX and then you can eventually consider a FX 8 core and transfer the rest of the rig to it. http://biz.tigerdirect.com/applicati...116&CatId=7247 | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number A blend of brains, brawn and dumb luck, ask me about rig #2 !

Is it possible that the board CAN handle a higher wattage processor and they just didn't bother updating the supported CPU list? If not, that is strange. | | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop

That's one possibility but it seems odd that a bios update wasn't required. Could a 965 be able to run on only 95 watts and is just throttled down? | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number A blend of brains, brawn and dumb luck, ask me about rig #2 !

It seems very odd and maybe only MSI has the answer here. Could this board be capable of 125 watt and just not listed?
The good news is the system is up and running but the idea of trying to push this chip on this board without understanding what is going on here is a real bad idea. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number A blend of brains, brawn and dumb luck, ask me about rig #2 !
