hi will this motherboard "Asus M5A78L-M/USB3 Micro ATX AM3+ Motherboard" run a 125w "AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.4GHz Quad-Core OEM/Tray Processor"?

With proper cooling, it should run just fine, but I wouldn't want to be stressing it for long periods of time (like in gaming). For web browsing, e-mail, documents and spreadsheets; typical office work, it would be fine. Anything that's going to peg the CPU for an extended period of time, will likely have the motherboard overheating.
