[SOLVED] FX9590 (Temp issues) downgrade to FX6300?

[qba1500]

Hey guys,

I have been using these FX9590 with Cooler Master Seidon 120M for quite a bit of time now. Theyre temps always been an issue. Whenever i use these PC's in higher temp enviroment, they keep on freezing. I cant really sell the buils, and make new ones, so ive been thinking of downgrading the CPU's to cheap FX 6300 for stability.

I have other build of 6300 with ~GTX 1060 GPU's and they seem to do fine in VR.

Whats your thoughts?

What are your full system specs?

Also, what are you using this pc for?

What are temperatures in c?

FX9590, R9 390 Strix, Sabertooth 990FX R2, XFX TS Series 650W, Vengeance 8GB, Iridium Pro 240GB, Phanteks P400S

I havent been measuring the temps, but i can say theyre way too high. From what i see 9590 temps is common problem.

Yes temps on that CPU are very high but a single 120mm cooler is not enough. You have two recourse to solve it much better than switching to FX 6300. One is getting better cooler or to just lower the CPU frequency to 4.5GHz.

Aye, ill try that.

"ut it to manual, set it to 4.0ghz, disable turbo. Set cpu voltage to 1.3v. Test on prime95 for 10 mins. If it passes, increase multiplier by 0.5. Repeat till prime95 fails, then increase cpu voltage by 0.02v and repeat test. Stop once voltage or cpu temp limit of 1.5v and 62C respectively has been reached "
