Hello, I have a AM2 socketed Asus A8N-BR (HP OEM) board that is Mini-ITX in size. I will be replacing a bad cap on it and re-using it in a custom build in the future.
Originally it had a 32w Athlon X2 3800+ in it. I want to drop in a 65w model or even a 125w model and give it a proper heatsink... but I am afraid the power circuitry on the board cannot take the 125w or 65w models. I'd like to put a X2 6000+ in it, but I don't absolutely NEED to have that much horsepower at tap. I have taken a picture of what I have and have found an **Removed-No ebay links**, if it makes it easier to find some information on it. ASUS's site does not show the board as existing.
Does anyone know the max wattage this thing could handle on the CPU..I don't want to fry it out..and since 32w AM2 cpus are rare as hell, I was simply going to buy a 65 or 125w model.
