Will this motherboard support Phenom 965 C2 stepping (140watt)?
Gigabyte website says 140w support but cpu list says n/a

Thanks

Hi,

Looking at the Gigabyte UK site, I can't see where it says that this board has 140W support. ( http://www.giga-byte.co.uk/Products/Motherboard/Products_Overview.aspx?ClassValue=Motherboard&ProductID=3138&ProductName=GA-MA785G-UD3H )

Looking through the CPU support list it seems it only supports those CPU's up to 125W.

I guess that the C3 version is OK to run on this board but the C2 version draws too much power, hence the reason it isn't supported.
Remember, when all else fails a cup of tea and a good swear will often help! It won't solve the problem but it will make you feel better.
