    Here's what spec says: "AMD AM3 and FX series CPU (Max:95W) with AMD Turbo Core 2.0 Technology." There are a lot of processors that meet that spec though. Which are you thinking of?

    OK, took a bit of photo editing to get it, but here's the supported CPU list (obviously not updated to reflect your CPU), I think your FX-8120 is already pretty much at max:

    It looks like the FX-8150 is 125W, so at the least would require extra cooling.
