i decided to buy two R9 390X and use them in crossfire
i made my mind in this case
and i just have one question
if you use two card in cross fire is it makes their life shorted?

plz don't tell me buy 980 , 980 ti , fury or fury X
i just want use crossfire
here we Discuss just about life time the graphic cards in crossfire mode
is there any chance crossfire could damage graphic cards or make their life shorted from their solo life time?

Using cards in crossfire does not shorten their life. The only thing that shortens their lives is overclocking them too much, allowing them to run very hot all the time, or powering them with a poor quality PSU.

depends on your case and the space between the gpu. the newer mb now have a few inches between the gpu for airflow. older mb had both slots so close most 2 slot gpu were touching, this cause the top gpu to cook. with today spacing and case airflow with fans most times the top card only few c hotter then then lower gpu. both gpu should last a long time. the trick is use msi after burner and other tools check both gpu temps under gaming loads. if the top card is cooking fix your case airflow. or use gpu that dont run as hot.

One thing that I have had happen with a couple of dual card rigs, is the fans on the bottom card failing long before the fans on the top card. I can only put it down to dust in the airflow. Running the cards "hot" all the time is actually better than constantly cycling them between hot and cold.

Woah I would hold on with that rig.

That Processor/Motherboard combo. The 9590 is in short, a bad idea, and folks have non stop problems even running them at stock speed here. For the amount of money you spent or will spend, you could buy an i5-6600k and compatible motherboard and absolutely demolish the 9590, and run faster Ram. If you can return it I would highly reccomend doing that.

Finally raid 0 on SSDs has proven to not be helpful much at all, and in fact wears heavily on them keeping them in sync, you are better off with 1 240-256gb SSD.

about Processor i will never buy another intel .i work 12 years with 4 different intel's cpus (pentium 2 233 MHz , pentium 2 450 MHz , pentium 4 2.4 GHZ , Pentium 4 3GHz) and they all of them had same problem.
when they work for 3 or 4 years their speed drops under 50% from their first they but after all of them when i bought AMD cpu . after 6 year passed from its first day it still wotks with 90% of its first day speed. after 12 years of experiencing with intel's cpus i will never go near intel brand.Actually i don't have enough money to spend on my pc every 3 year and my first priority in pc is its life time because of this i asked you guy's about life time of crossfire

and about raid 0 i tested it over HP g4 and it works correctly over 5 years on HDD
and the only problem People fuss about raid 0 is if one of you SSDs faild all of your data will be lost but its complitly stopid to campare this weakness with solo SSD if you have solo SSD and its fails also all of your data will be lost
i just know with raid 0 you get more speed (at least in read and write) with same money

here as you can see two 120GB SSD almost is better than single 256GB SSD and only in one case 4K random q1 its lower from 256GB SSD and I do not even know what this is

Processors now are completely different from pentium 2's and pentium 4's. If you're saying you're going to buy a 9590 because of a bad experience left in your mouth from a decade ago, you really shouldnt be near a computer...

oh sory i'm not Wealthy like you to buy power full pc every 3 year i Planing use this rig for at least 6 year and i can't risk my money on your Opinion over intel ( that you tell me that intel repented and created ling lived cpu not the short lived ones)AND close my eye on bad experience on intel brand
and i just may change my 9590 to 9370 or 8350 but i never change to intel

witch one you will choose betwen 9590/9370/8350/8320?

with proof (life time is first Priority and blue screen on Second Priority also power consuming is not in options i can easily pay my bills)

First off, dont come off so smug saying buying a pc every 3 years is "wealthy". Because its not. Im on social security disability, i make 6000 dollars a year. Minus child support. So i build computers for people on the side to upgrade, or build a new computer.

Go with the 8350.

Also fx architecture is already 4 years old. Your planning to use this pc build for another 6 years thats a 10 year processor. Just saying. Your math isnt leading. If you want to use this rig for 6 years, wait for amds new Zen line of processors

That is a product roadmap, Zen is not out yet nobody knows how fast they will be. Suffice to say the FX platform is 4 years old, its a technology that is coming to the end.

The Intel Skylake i3-6100 benchmarks in most apps FASTER than the FX-9590, and thats the lowest Core processor Intel offers. The FX-9590 is known for issues, most people end up disabling turbo core or worse downclocking it just to make it work right. It (or any FX based PC) should be your last choice for a computer to last for 6 years.

The 9590 is faster than the 8350, but the 8350 will likely work more reliably because it isn't pushed to the edge of sanity. Its your money but if you want a PC that is going to last 6 years, you have selected the worst motherboard and processor combo to do it. And this is from someone running a 5 year old AMD based system!

The 9590 IS A 8350 just over clocked and over volted so high that it can't sustain a stable clock speed hence why people are having problems. If you were to get a 8350, all you have to do is overclock it to 4.7ghz and boom look you have a 9370...

jeffleroux has same mobo and cpu as i have and he says

ON TOPIC: I have a solution, and experience in this matter.

Most of these answers are really rediculous! I understand some of these guys truly wanna help, however they are grasping at straws. But most of them just spew garbage, unrelated, want to earn a badge!

I have actual experience with this. My system is the same, it has also been freezing for the last 2 weeks. Since the day I bought it. The game will start up, freeze 5 minutes later. Even in windows, apps will lock up then freeze your pc.

The solution was very simple. Someone in this thread had it head on, well done "JOOK-D". Disable the C1 C6 states in the CPU settings in the BIOS, it stops freezing! You can play like a king as you deserve it, after all the suffering.

My system:
Amd Vishera Socket, 5Ghz 8xCore AM3+ FX-9590, Black Edition CPU
GIGABYTE NVidia GeForce, GTX 970, 4096MB, GDDR5, Graphics Card
Asus M5A99FX Pro 2.0, Motherboard

is it correct? by doing this will it be fixed?

and i just want it to be used in its stock clock because as you told overclocking will shorten the Components life . will it freeze in its stock Frequency again?

Not necessarily. I know of people here who did that and said it worked fine, and others who it did not do anything for.

Generally people end up disabling that, turning off turbo core, and even downclocking the chip to 4.5ghz. Just read the rest of the thread you will see all the folks with additional problems. This is why we are recommending something, really ANYTHING else.

If you have to do that to get a new processor just to work properly with hardware it was supposedly made for, you got ripped off.

All in all, getting a 9590 is your choice, if "hoping" you get a good chip and you won't have to disable some key things in the bios is what you want, by all means ill root for you. But like i said, getting a 8350, overclocking it, or even a 8320 and overclocking it with a h100i to save some more money will give you more headroom, and less problems. The 8350 was and still is AMD's best selling chip by far. With out hassle. And if you do end up getting the 9590, and get a bad chip, guess what. By what you're saying about your experience with the pentiums you're not gonna choose AMD anymore or Intel, people here are trying to save you hassle and money and actually help you. Good luck.
