i know that any 140W mobo can handle a 125W hexi with just a bios update, but its how much power do these things draw when OCed. if a quad hits 180W at 1.5v 4ghz, then how much do u think a 1.5v 5ghz hexi will draw? and how many boards were built to handle such cases? id bet air coolers will not see this as an issue since the power draw turns to heat which turns to temperature which turns to instability, so that leaves water cooling, and if theres bad airflow on the PWM heatsink, id be more than willing to bet alot of people are going to be seeing issues.

but it seems everyone thinks im just being paranoid or dont understand the question.
