This is my first post on this forum so here it goes.
I have an HP Pavillion a6223w with the ECS MCP61PM-HM socket AM2 motherboard that is currently crossflashed with ECS Geforce6100SM-M2 (v2.0) socket AM2+ firmware via a bios chip swap for the 8mb bios.
Added heatsinks to the vrm mosfets and want to know if I can run a higher wattage cpu than what HP says the board can run.
The ECS Geforce6100SM-M2 supports 95w TDP cpu's where as the HP board I have crossflashed only supports 89w TDP so I guess the question is can I put a higher wattage cpu in my board as long as I have the vrm mosfets properly cooled and proper bios support. Do you think it could hurt the board is what I guess I am trying to find out.
