well i am building a new pc and want to go with an fx 9590 and was wondering is Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 can handle the power of fx 9590 i new its on its compatibility cpu list but wondering is anyone is running an fx 9590 on this board since its highly recommended

the reason i am going to go with fx 9590 is because i love amd over intel and fx 9590 is the most powerful cpu they have because i do not like overclocking i currently have a fx 8350 running fine but this is for my new build ill be adding in a custom water-loop kit from EK with a 360 rad and a 240 rad in the loop along with my gigabyte gtx 970 g1 any thoughts .

You might want to wait. AMD confirmed it was going to make new fx processors and they were coming in 2016...

I don't see the point of buying fx 9590 since it is just an overclocked FX 8350 which you can do yourself. But make sure you get GA-990FXA-UD3 Rev4.0 which supports FX 9590 if you are getting that cpu.
 


i think you are right might even save up some extra cash and get a custom case from caselabs and all the other doo dats
 


What good is waiting for 2016 vaporware? Plus its going to be a totally different socket. DDR4 etc....
