Depends about cpu, if board support's 140W cpu's that wont automatically mean that cpu would use the 140W
like, FX83xx (non E) series cpu's have 125W tdp, and atleast UD3, m5a99FX PRO and Saberbooth are able to run those easily, actually even more (m5a97 ev/m5a99 series mobo's had 6+2 vrm what have been able to push those FX cpu's to 4.8Ghz+ what i have been watched, pretty easily, and saberbooth even more(like FX9370/FX9590))
Those boards all support the 9xx0 series AMD processors. They were all designed with the needs of overclockers in mind to begin with, and a lot of people were running 8350's beyond the 9590 specs on them long before the 9590 itself even existed. When AMD released its own "factory overclocked" 8350's and called them the 9370 and 9590, all the motherboard manufacturers did was update the BIOS to recognize them. From a functionality standpoint, running a 9590 is no different than running an overclocked 8350 at 4.7/5.0 in the same board.

FX-9K series are binned completely different, so it is definitely not the same thing to run FX-8K series and FX-9K at the same clocks and voltage power wise. FX-9K series parts use dies with ultra high leakage characteristics.
Ultra high leakage parts can draw 20-30% more current than low leakage parts and thats usually the case with FX-9K parts.

If you say so, but I haven't seen that on the handful of 9-series parts I've seen in action. They pull about the same current at the wall as an overclocked 8-series does. The 9-series parts are certainly binned high leakers, but I don't think the leakage issue makes much of a difference until you get beyond 5 GHz. At least not on the ones I've seen.
well, The TDP is the amount of heat they spray, not the amount of power they eat. thanks
