FX-9590 + Cooler Master G750M + R9 380 4GB

[Jonas_10]

So I am going to buy the FX-9590 CPU, I need a new power supply for my system. I used Cooler Master's own Power Draw Calculator to meassure it and it seems fine. So what do you guys think?

And please don't try to convince me to buy Intel because I'm a HARDCORE AMD user xD

Here is a pic of the meassurement: https://gyazo.com/ec0c427ddee5b28a683f4c2d1704bd94
[I took a wrong ram module a DDR4 instead of 3 but that doesn't have anything to say xD]

I'm not here to convince you otherwise, but preferring a brand without caring if It's actually your ideal option is and will always remain ''stupidity''.

The very first vital question here is, which motherboard are you pairing the FX-9590 with? Are you aware that this needs to be a high-end 990FX motherboard?

If you aren't an enthusiast with a good budget available for a setup with an FX-9590, with liquid cooling and everything, instantly forget about the 9590 cuz you will regret it.

If you're an hardcore amd enthusiast then buy an 8320 & overclock it yourself.
You'll save Money & get literally the same performance

The 9590 is a foolish buy for anyone.

I am planning to use it with the Noctua NH-D14 wich Tek Syndicate Reccomended, I am going with the ASRock 990FX Extreme Fatal1ty with M.2, USB 3.1 and USB-C.

Ok so that is a very solid option with 12+2 Phases.

Aren't you limited on GPU Budget? So why not FX-8320 + R9 390?

Or even better, wait for AMD Zen? (That's what I'm doing).

It's too late for an FX-9590, AMD Zen is closing in for release. Give it a few months.

I allready have a R9 380, that's why xD

I'm going to wait for AMD Zen anyways, perhaps you should too. 990FX is 5 years old mind, better to wait imo.

^ That, and the FX9590 is based on 4-year old cores that were originally intended to compete with (and failed) Intel's Sandy Bridge CPUs - an overclocked i7 2600K remains a faster CPU, despite being released in 2011. In fact, an overclocked 2009 first generation i7 hex core has both higher single-threaded and higher multithreaded performance than the FX9590.

The FX9590 is a poor choice because it's a high-leakage bin that allows it to run at high clockspeeds and voltage without dying very early (so AMD would be willing to sell it with a waranty), but as a result, the FX9xxx series actually put out more heat and draw more power than an equally clocked FX8xxx. If I were to buy an AMD system today, it would be based on the FX-8320e or maybe the 8370, which are the newest revisions of Piledriver, and crank it up to around 4.6-4.7ghz and call it a day. At those clocks, the lower-leakage 8320e or 8370 will likely draw half the power of the FX9590 at stock.

I wouldn't bother with AMD. Better get a new mobo and an Intel processor. AMD CPU's are struggling against Intel.

In fact, the 2009 i7 is actually almost 20% faster than the FX-9590 even at stock speeds, according to benchmarks:

So again, I would advise against buying one.
