I have a Gigabyte M4A785TD-V EVO, currently using a Phenom II x2 550BE. I know the board supports the x6 processors, but I am curious what my overclocking potential would be. Where can I find what the maximum recommended power draw is for the CPU socket? I can find out about it having 8+2 phase power, but, not the max current.
 
First off that board is an ASUS. Second off it says it supports 140w CPU's. It will probably support a much higher wattage, but just like how each CPU has an unknown OC limit each motherboard has an unknown wattage limit before it fails.
