if it's rebinned cpus why would we have any issues running them, one of my 24/7 clocks is 5.0 anyway. this will be the same processor that we have been clocking to 5.3-5.5?
1. I expect you are hitting the nail squarely on the head there C_D.
2. I wrote about TDP and how AMD figured it in a post a month or so ago. TDP is not the only spec that AMD has thrown around. If you look back some years ago you will see how AMD tried to respond when questioned about their white papers for power consumption. Sounded like a freeken politician was being interviewed to me.

3.TDP is not the maximum that the cpu can consume in watts. Not even close if you read how the TDP is figured. No not hardly the max current that the cpu can consume even in a stock condition much less when overclocked. The TDP is low not on the high side for sure in relation to actual watts pulled thru the VRM circuit.
4. I have seen reputable sources say the Asus CHV can supply up to 300 watts to a cpu. Maybe even a little more. In fact I think a little more. Will have to RE-check that number. But that should handle the newer 220TDP cpus.
5. Just as an aside let me quickly describe TDP. It is a calculated amount of heat to be put off by the cpu and removed when loaded to a certain level and that level is not a 100% load. That is why the users with cheap boards and 125W TDP cpus have run into issues with the FX processors.
TDP is not the max current draw of the cpu. It is only relative. AND then most of us that overclock go in and make an 8core FX processor run in full on 8 core mode all the time and people wonder why their boards cannot tote the mail. Not enough real beans in the VRM circuit of most boards. Especially the entry level boards.
NOT a SINGLE FX processor is designed to run with all cores on and in WFO mode for any length of time and yet we adjust the FX processor to run just that way and call it merely overclocking. It is far away from just a plain overspeeding of the cpu, it is hammering the cpu and circuits with ALL cores on all the time. NO freeken wonder the entry level boards cannot push the high overclocks with ALL the cores on and completely out of the design parameters of the FX processor.
6. After looking at big-business and AMD lately, they are having to release something since Intel has just released the Haswell, I believe it is. They have to try and keep up even if they say the upper end of the desktop market is conceded to Intel. I said late last year that AMD now could bin the PEE out of their processors and imagine that is what we see in this newly hyped cpu release. Steamroller is likely just as far off as we expect it to be and will be next year. However AMD has to have press to compete to the extent they intend to compete with Intel. These greater clocked Vishera's are one way to get that press. Even if we see very few and high dollars just like the Centurion was said to be and has not appeared but the lesser cpus now touted appear to be going to appear actually. BS.
I believe that if AMD had a Steamroller close to ready they would be leaking it to counteract the release after release of desktop cpus by Intel. However AMD may have learned their lesson by a years worth of leaking before the release of the underperforming Bulldozer series and drying up the awesome 1090T and 1100T thubans.
Shett RGone, quit your rambling. I have no doubt my first edition CHV can handle 220W TDP. What else can do so, is a complete mystery to me. However I doubt that CM 212 EVO cooling need even knock on the door of 220W TDP.
RGone...
220W TDP 
+ i wanna put it in my ud3 to see if the magic smoke leaves the mosfets
