first of all this is a repeat thread, from one in the cpu section.
apologies if i am not allowed to do this.
this is more of a motherboard question anyway.

hi guys i need some help.

i have a foxconn g41mx 2.0 mobo.
i can get my hands on a Q6600 b3 sl9um malay
2.40ghz/8m/1066/05b (i know its the older, hotter one)

my concern is i have looked at the supported cpu list here http://www.foxconnsupport.com/cpusup...1MX-K&cputype=
it says it supports the Q6600 but at 95w
but doing a quick google search the Q6600b3 is 105w

but didn't the b3 sl9um come out first?.
the mobo also supports cpu's upto Q9650 :confused:

will my mobo support it as none of the cpu's listed has 105w

i know it runs hotter than a go stepping version, but i can get a good deal on it.
also i will be happy at 2.8-3.0GHz speed, so not bothered about getting more out of it

edit. i found this http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=29765 at intel site.

does this mean that they both share a max tdp of 105w but have a different Tcase and max. temp?
