pcpartspicker link above is my exact model FSP Group AURUM 92+ 650W 80+ Platinum Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply... http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2753586/9590-running-0ghz-7ghz.html if you go and use FC bios for rev 3.0 of my mobo you can get 4.7 ghz but is not compatible...

If TDP = power consumption, this would mean that 100% of the electrical energy is converted into thermal energy, meaning a processing unit is nothing more than a heat producer. It possible to go over TDP but that would mean it would be running at 100% cpu or more/overclocked past spec. So TDP...

the 4.0 Ghz is what my motherboard manufacture decided to set the clock speed to from bios by default for the fx 9590 cpu's for the GA-990FXA-UD5 rev 3.1 bios. The versions name is FB and is currently the only downloadable bios on gigabytes site for this revision of the mobo. Currently I'm not...

and its not a handicap to run the newest bios so the system runs stably either. As for turbo boosting i can see what you mean there if it momentarily draws more power than its max 220 W thus "handicapping" the cpu if not used but at that point its already going past max specification from...

when you get a 220 W cpu do you then say it needs a 1000W psu? If you look at the TWP of all my components you will soon realize its under 650W and thus a 650W psu will handle the max amount that computer will draw for power. If another person with my same build needed more power to keep their...

My solution would be do get a new cpu water cooler and a good thermal paste if you haven't done so already. http://www.corsair.com/en/cooling/cpu-coolers

can get a black water cooler and 10 dollars in spray paint as long as you don't paint the radiator you should be fine. you could cover the logo up with tape and just spray over it then pull the tape off. You can also put gloss over it after so it looks shiny or find a paint that glows in the...

should have updated bios and disabled turbo boost sorry for the late answer.

my build is a 650W psu, gpu Geforce 970 windforce(because it has knockback) MD FX-9590 Vishera 8-Core 4.7 GHz Socket AM3+ 220W Black Edition Samsung 256GB ssd and 500GB ssd 2 8gb 1866Mhz sticks GA-990FXA-UD5 mobo Corsair h100 2 fans also one fan in front and one in back(imo fans only take 5 W...

disable turbo boost and you should be fine.

i use the Hydro Series™ H110 280mm Extreme Performance Liquid on my computer and my temps are fine. But when i bought the cooler i took advice and also got a better thermal compound to put on instead of the stuff they have from factory. The stuff i used is called MX-4...

also for the newer post download FB bios which limits clock speed to 4.0Ghz and disable turbo boost... thats if your rev 3.1 if your GA-990FXA-UD5 Rev 3.0 http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4455&dl=1#bios and then download FC but you could also download FB here but its 2 years...

also before finding this answer i just posted above i took someone else s advice and bought the best psu from psu stickied list for 650W psu's thinking that might solve the problem and now have a psu that will last 6 years or more and backup that will replace it and probably run an equal amount...

i have the gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD5 rev 3.1 mobo. http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5365&dl=1#bios this link is too its bios which is called FB version. It limits my clock speed of my 9590 to 4.0ghz so the system runs stably but when turbo boost is still enabled it can jump to...

Disable turbo boost if you have it on. Down clock ram to 1866 MHz and your system should run stable. You could even down clock to 1600 MHz and it might run even more stable. Upgrade to newest Bios version for your motherboard and a chip set driver. Also for your GPU if its a NVidia GeForce and...
