Will the processor work in the mat. board without support for this processor?

Question

Iron

I want to squeeze all the juice out of my old computer on socket AM3. Found B.U. Phenom II X6 1090T processor. I was about to order, but then I realized that it would be nice to look at the list of compatible processors with my mat. board Gigabyte GA-MA78LMT-S2 (rev 3.4). There is a processor in the list , but in the BIOS column it says n \ a - Not Support.
But I thought, maybe there is still a chance that the processor will start, especially since the characteristics of the processor are almost the same as in other supported processors of the line. The only difference is TDP 125W. This site states that this mother supports 125W . And in general, now this mother has Athlon II X3 unlocked to Phenom X4 B60, which is not in the list of supported processors at all, and it works on TDP125W.

There is also a case on the Internet when they also tried to run this processor on another mother without support and it worked.
What do you think, are there any chances? Or the processor must be in the BIOS. Is it worth freezing?

The maximum supported processor for this mat. The board is declared 1065T, but I don’t know if it makes sense, if it will give a performance increase of at least 25-30%, because it differs only from the current one in the presence of an L3 cache and 2 additional. cores, although at a lower frequency (6 x 2.9) versus mine (4 x 3.4)

Answer 1

I would recommend not chasing the top, it is reasonable to take the phenom ii x6 1065t 95 watt, there is almost no performance difference, but it does not heat up like an iron. You can overclock a little and catch up with the 1090T in parrots and still be colder.
Unsupported processors are more like a lottery, I met a situation that the processor as a whole worked, but the turbo mode did not work, i.e. the frequency was always minimal, through a program from Windows it was possible to turn on the turbo mode, but after a reboot it was cut down again, I also met that the voltage did not drop in idle time, the percentage was constantly heated to the maximum. Sometimes you can google an unofficially modified bios that has been implemented to support new processors.

Answer 2

It can work if the percent is simply newer than the mother's specification and it simply could not be added to the list. Otherwise, there is little chance that it will work

Answer 3

There may be problems with firewood incompatibility, but it's worth a try.
