AMD FX 8300 to AMD FX 9590

[ImFrog]

I have a AMD FX 8300 will my motherboard be able to hold an AMD FX 9590? Please respond ASAP and thank you.

EDIT: ok i have an ASUS essentio desktop M51BC-B10 <---- my model

Few motherboards can handle the 220W TDP. Which motherboard do you have?

Depends on the motherboard. The 9590 has a 220W TDP and generates a HUGE amount of heat, (requiring an expensive cooling system) so it is NOT just a "drop-in and done" upgrade in any fashion.

The 9590 is essentially an overclocked FX-8350.

Hope this helps

Haven't you asked this before? How do we know if you don't have the sense to even post what kind of board you have? Just Google "9590 motherboard compatibility". Or better yet go to AMD.com.

i have an amd 970 chipset and am3+ socket my pc is the ASUS M51BC but i put in a gtx 760

You can't put a 9590 in an OEM pc. You need a really good enthusiast 990fx motherboard, great cpu cooling and a case with about five or six intake/exhaust fans and a really beefy psu. None of which your ASUS possess.

 

[ingtar33]

if he has a 8300 he probably has a cheap dell or hp. that chip was only sold as an OEM chip. chances he has a motherboard that will take a 9590 is pretty slim


-that said, OP you need to post your motherboard.

There are no 970 boards that support the 9590. Even if it did that case would support the large cooling solution it would require.

well then do you think i could at least have an amd fx 8350

Depends on the model of board asus uses in that system. Not all 970s support the 8350. But even if it is supported the performance gain from a 8300 to 8350 is not worth the cost of the upgrade imho.

Dont remember a 970 being on that list my bad.

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

The 970 in my above thread supports 9000 series.

Great price for , a good board.

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Came out 2 weeks ago.

That explains it. I usually avoid the 9000 series so i don't look at that list very often.

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

For the price it's the bet out there.

 

[computertech82]

It would be better (and far faster) getting a intel cpu and motherboard. look at the benchmarks on tom's hardware.

 

[bignastyid]

For the price it's the bet out there.

For $240 I'd rather have an i5 or a Xeon with hyperthreading.

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

True , but if he wanted to stay with AMD , it was just an option to throw on the board.

I have 2 FX8350 builds and 4 Intel builds,

I prefer Intel

I wouldn't try it. The 8350 is a 125 watt cpu. They put a 95 watt 8300 cpu in your machine for a specific reason. You board has 4+1 phase power and no heatsinks on the vrm's. Frankly a 8350 would throttle at best. Cook your board at worst.

lol what do you do with 6 computers?

I personally use AMD but I usually tell people to get Intel, especially lately.

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Building Another one soon....board and ram will come this week.

 

[WhiteSnake91]

The OP is not going to see a performance jump big enough worth the hassle of having to get another motherboard since there's no way in hell that 220w cpu would work fine in a crap OEM mobo.

For the price of it, get an i5 4460 and h81 mobo or for not much more a 4690k and z97 mobo. That would be a difference you'd feel.


You're not happy with the 8300's performance?

 

[damric]

Bah, you know how slow the FX CPUs are at stock. They don't even wake up until about 4.5GHz. But OP would need adequate mobo/cooler/PSU to start down that road.

That's nothing. I probably have 15 at any given time.
