    Hi,
    I've resurrected this quite old motherboard and installed an FX 6300 CPU. I was thinking of trying to upgrade the CPU, however there is contradictory content on motherboards ASUS information page. On the one hand it states the motherboard can support 95W CPU's but in the compatibility CPU list it indicates that it can support some CPU's with a TDP of 125W. Both can't be right so does anyone have any idea as to which is the best reference to take notice of?

    Regards Steve
