  Yes

When you are going to upgrade your computer, you should choose your processor carefully, especially paying attention to temperature ratings and TDP. Look at the operating and maximum temperatures of the processor AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 6950HS and the TDP at PL1 and PL2 levels. The final power of the power supply will depend on this data, as well as the number of power phases on the motherboard.

• TDP (PL1)
  35 W
• Tjunction max.
  95 \xc2\xb0C
