I plan to upgrade from phenom2 965 and am thinking of 2 options:
1. 6300 + OC
2. 8320

Both options have the same $/core ratio. 8320 is clocked higher, but 6300 can easily beat that with OC.

My question is:
Will this board handle FX8320:

There is 8350 on the supported list or even 140Watts Phenom.
I added small CU heatsinks on the VRMs and have quite an airflow in this section of the board.

I have deepcool gammaxx s50 cpu cooler.

Would like to hear from people that tried running comparable motherboards with those CPUs.
