Acer’s official manual for this board—usually a system-level guide—covers:
: This is arguably the most important technical limitation of this board. The Acer H61H2-AD's power delivery circuitry is strictly limited to a 65W TDP . You cannot install high-end CPUs like a standard i7-3770 (77W). If you are upgrading, you must search for processors with a "T", or "S" suffix (e.g., Core i7-3770S, Core i5-2500S, or Celeron/Pentium models) that fall within this power budget.
