Hi!
I've just made a massive upgrade for one of the youngsters in the family. I like to press the limits of older generation computer gear, and the plan is to go high end for a AMD FX-rig, and I got hold of an FX-9590 CPU. He had a FX-6300, so this should keep him going with an ok improvement in gaming I believe...
The problem: The comuter starts up ok with the "new" CPU, but the system halts after 1-2 minutes . It runs ok with an FX-8350.
For the time being, the rig might have a bit low specifications (?) for running the 9590: 700W power supply and a Corsair H60 water cooler. Is this lightly to be the problem, or is it more lightly to be a buggy "eBay" CPU?
The motherboard is an Asus Sabertooth 990FX Gen3 R2.0 (Newest Bios)
It runs 32GB 2133MHz RAM
The FX-8350 might be a better choice for the upgrade either way?
