Cosair H80 cooler be able to cool AMD FX-9590?

[Mirzet]

I'm thinking of upgrading my CPU to AMD, and I was looking at AMD FX-9590. The problem is that I'm afraid that my H80 can't cool it because, the CPU runs really hot (220w usage).

Anyone who have the H80 Cosair cooler and the CPU that can confirm I won't have any trouble?

Notice this is a H80 not a H80I

All help are appreciated, regards Mirzet

you could get a 95w AMD chip to 4.5GHz or so on a 5 phase board.
comparative to intel's 60-80w chips, well you know.

but I cant be sure how it OC ether

mobos that support your needs

these all work, but I mean you coud get new ram..

Three of them are ATX which wont fit in my cabinet, I need a micro ATX

Thats why it so hard to find

Well, if you need Micro-ATX, Z170 & DDR3, your only real option is the ASUS motherboard. I've looked around the web and it seems to be the only viable way.
That is unless you're willing to sell your DDR3 RAM and buy DDR4 to go with the new board and find a wider range of boards compatible with your setup.

So I looked at all of your comments and I have come to a statement that I won't buy AMD after all.

I used to have a I7-2700K, but sold it because I couldn't find a motherboard that would fit in my pc, since the LGA1155 are nearly gone in Denmark.

I was looking at i3-6100 & i5-6500 & i5-6600 - Which one would you guys recommend?

I do not intent to overclock any of them, my main focus with the CPU is to run games such as GTA V stable.

You do realize there's a section dedicated to best CPU for x amount of $ right?? Check it out, read the reviews, and find what fits your budget.

The FX-9590 is not for the average power user or even the average overclocker. I currently have a FX-9590 and it's VERY stable @ 5.1 GHz and it will outperform i5.

A. You do realise that this topic is 9 months old?
B. I find that incredibly hard to believe. IPC on FX is complete shit and is beaten out by most modern i3's
C. AM3+ is a completely dead platform and has been for a very long time
