Web searching shows several people around the world have speculated on whether or not the 1.91 beta BIOS that added AM3+ support will support Vishera CPUs. Looks like nobody pulled that trigger. It does support Bulldozer/Zambezi, up to at least 6 cores. I put an FX 6100 on mine and its performance compared to the Phenom II x2 555 (unlocked to quad) it replaced is somewhat underwhelming.
The board says it supports 6 core, 140W CPUs. So tempting to try a FX-8370, 8 core Vishera at 125W. The two higher ones are 220W. But do I want to spend the $? Would be nice to have someone else's (successful) trial of a Vishera, especially 8 core, to see to know it works.
