GA 35 CPU Swap

[omnipotentduo]

I'm looking for specs on the MOBO in this Desktop I just purchased. I want to put an R9 5900x or 5950x in it but I can't find any reason not to, other than I'm not sure about the power requirements vs the stock processor.

This is the machine.

I'm not a novice on building or modding PC's but I want to check my available wattage that the motherboard can support.

Thermals will be the issue, not power consumption ~imo.

I would only want 5900x or 5950x under AIO or better and that maybe issue or not.

it does have an AIO installed with the OEM hardware.

I could see the thermal load being the concern for sure.

just double the fans ... push pull on the radiator.

Nothing else comes to mind as an issue.
