Asrock Fatality 990fx Killer and FX9590

[dillon239]

Can the Asrock 990fx killer fatality support the fx 9590. According to some sources it can but other sources point needing the 990fx professional. This cpu would be ran at stock with no overclocking. Would this combination work?

According to the MoBo's website, it can't:

And avoid FX 9, its crap performance wise, too much TDP and price, requires alot of money over MoBo and cooler, do yourself a favour and get FX 8 or i5 K version.

Your choices for the 9590:

ASRock 990FX Extreme9
Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z
Asus M5A99FX PRO R2.0
Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0
Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 R4.0
Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD5
Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD7
MSI 990FXA-GD80V2

Warning: This power draw of this CPU is almost twice that of the average CPU. Due to this, AMD recommends using at minimum a 1000W power supply. For cooling, AMD recommends using either either closed loop liquid cooling or full system liquid cooling.

Okay I'm looking at the fx8350 instead seems to be a better option. And as far as I can tell the 8370 really isn't worth the $30+ extra all I notice is a .1ghz higher on turbo

 

[MeteorsRaining]

Yep, FX 8 is a lot better option. The max OCing point for typical 8350 and 70 is more or less the same, invest those extra $30 on a better MoBo or CPU cooler. Also, if the purpose is gaming, have you considered the i5? It has better upgrade path.

i know its a bit of a necro on this thread, but a few things, 1 i have a 9370 oc'd on the fatal1ty killer, runs games fine just doesn't stability test well (the VRMS on this board are trash and can't handle that much load, they go from 1.45v to 0.8 soon as this monster starts sucking the life out of them!), but other than that it runs alright, but i do have an OLC, the cm120xl it came with is trash, the VRM heatsink gets super hot (going to be getting a waterblock for this soon i hope and also one for the NB)

as for the power draw, with system at stock, HWMonitor puts it atmost at 80w draw, the 220Wtdp isn't power consumed, but more heat you must dissipate, Linus Tech Tips covered this.

I have the same board and I stuck my old FX-8320 on it -- it's been out for about four years, but I'm still pretty happy with it. I'd probably get an FX-8350 if I could do it again but I don't consider it a big enough upgrade from what I have to drop the money. I was considering the FX-9590, and the guy at Micro Center who sold my board to me told me that it would support it, but after some more research I'm just not sure that I want it anyway. I know I could keep it cool with my Corsair H110i GTX but I just don't think that it's worth it.

To be honest I'm pretty disappointed in AMD with the FX-9590. I've built all of my own systems for over 15 years and always gone with AMD. I may move to Intel on my next build. From what I've seen, and in my opinion, the FX-9590 is basically the same processor as mine with a really high clock speed, with a ridiculously high TDP. I really expected them to do better after four years.

The Asrock 990fx will not support the fx 9590. it will support the 8370.with 125watts. Look up the cpu and see will it support it and how many watts.
