I am having a mobo foxconn aloe 1.01 with am3 socket. And now i am current using a cpu amd phenom 925. I am planning to buy the new cpu which is the amd Fx-8150. But i know that the fx-8150 is an amd3+. So will my old mobo be able to support the fx-8150?

All in all great cooler for the money and has always worked reliably. Excellent for a backup cooling system or for low-cost budget computers, while still being able to overclock.

I don't think he can update his Bios.. Its a HP computer right? If thats the case Foxconn is going to want to charge you for a new Bios and it will 9 times out of 10 NOT work with a FX 8150.
I would buy a new Mobo. They can be had for less then 60 bucks and then you don't have to fight with it.
