    All the stock processors are 65W version, so you are asking about doubling the heat load. You would certainly want to upgrade the cooling, but otherwise there shouldn't be too much of a problem. Look at your overall power budget, if you are thinking of that type of an upgrade you are likely to also be looking at upgrading the GPU as well, and the ATX12VO power supplies are still in short supply. You can get a 500W from Acer but I don't know of any third parties doing bigger ones yet.
