Has anyone tried running a 125 watt cpu in a 95 watt motherboard?

My board only supports 95 watt cpus.

Ive been reading up on "undervolting" to keep the wattage down but would this have any undesirable effects?

Or can anyone recommend a good am3+ motherboard that will take 125 watt phenoms?

Can a motherboard be changed without a full reinstall of windows 7?

Thanks

Richie
