Does processor wattage (95w and 125w) affect the motherboard?

[chautrongduc]

Hi all,
I currently have a MSI ms-7597 ver 1.2, as i hang around the MSI specs site, I found out that this board support maximum 95w processor (AMD phenom ii V6 1065T) : http://www.msi.com/support/mb/GF615MP33_v1.2FOR_EUP.html#support-cpu
*GF615M-P33 V1.2 is the same version as my board.

However there is a later version of this phenom ii V6 processor which uses 125 w (phenom ii V6 1055T and 1090T) http://www.amd.com/en-us/products/processors/desktop/phenom-ii

Will this effect the board at all? can i still use the 125 w one?

Wouldn't recommend it. Might damage the mobo's power delivery system.

Generally the mobo controls how much power it will give the CPU and not the other way around,so your mobo is pretty safe,the thing is that a 125W cpu will most probably not work on only 95w,if your bios has the settings to overclock then you can, beforehand, manual set it to run on the timings of a 95W CPU,basically undervolting/underclocking.
But I guess this defies the whole purpose of getting a faster CPU in the first place.
