thanks

Yes that mobo will be able to run fx 8350, i had mine on it clocked at 4,7ghz with custom vrm cooling, vrm's on it will become an issue if you plan to overclock it , youlll need some cooling on them and they are only 4+1 phases design, but it will definetly handle a stock fx 8350 without issues, and no coller wont change anything much, just make your cpu cooler, and helping to oc cpu

well the cooler should be able to dissipate at least 150w heat coming from that cpu, even tough it's tdp is rated @ 125w, the heat that thing puts out is huge, so a cooler with a 150w tdp rating atlest
