Currently I have a Biostar A770e3 I bought a long time ago that was rated as 95w. However, as you can see here:

http://www.biostar.com.tw/app/en/mb/introduction.php?S_... (supports 125w cpu's)
http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/299574-30-help-biosta...
The motherboard now supports 125w cpu's with absolutely no change to the model, only a BIOS update!
I would like to overclock a AMD Phenom x945 3.0 GHZ to maybe 3.6 or so Ghz. I am wondering if the BIOS update would actually increase the safety of overclocking a 95w CPU, or does it simply allow the motherboard to accept 125W CPU's?
In other words, Is this motherboard safe to run a overclocked 95W (therefore higher than 95W) CPU WITHOUT the BIOS update? Or can a BIOS update magically make a mobo able to handle higher wattage more safely?
I wouldn't want to make a risky BIOS update unless I'm sure that it actually makes a difference
