Compatibility help for amd!

[JohnIsNewGeek]

I am getting the Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z ATX AM3+ Motherboard, and getting the amd fx 9590 it says it only supports up to 140 watt cpu is the amd fx 9590 that can produce 240 ok?

Your motherboard supports these CPUs - https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/CROSSHAIR_V_FORMULAZ/HelpDesk_CPU/

which includes the FX9590. But "Due to the high TDP, please be noted there are limitations while using this CPU(i.e. special thermal required..)"

The 9590 and 9370 are 220W CPUs.

9590 has a claimed TDP of 220w (which is INSANE), so no. That won't work.
You'll also need some serious cooling for that.

You'll have to get a better board, slower CPU, or go Intel.
