Gigabite GA 78LMT USB3 (rev.5.0) compatibilty with AMD 9590 cpu

[Dre3amwaver]

hi people im looking for a bit of info on a cpu I have just purchased but not yet fitted. I have a Gigabite GA 78LMT USB3 (rev.5.0) mobo. but if I put my AMD 9590 cpu in it will my mobo become fried or is it best I just get a new mobo aswell? any and all help would be appreciated

NO, NO , a thousand times NO

By all means fry both of them if you wish , but this is not a match that should even run

Buy a board with a 990 series chipset and the highest power phase count you can . Add in an awesome cooling solution [ H110i or similar] and it might run .

what do you suggest? new mobo?

 

[Dre3amwaver]

do you have any specific mobos in mind. I wasn't sure it would work coz of the heat issue despite both being am3+ also for heat cooling solutions would just a normal cpu fan work or must it be more elaborate ?

Best value
Asrock 990FX Extreme 6
Budget
Asrock Fatality 970 performance
Money is no object
ASUS Crosshair V , or sabertooth

But even with these board you may experience overheating problems . That processor runs very hot

Hopefully this will help you make the right choices for your build

ok what about a 970

The 970 gaming will fair about aswell as the krait in this video.

For a fx 9xxx series you need a high end motherboard and a serious cpu cooling solution.
Imho for what the cpu mobo and cpucooler costs you can buy a faster intel cpu and motherboard.

There was a video of the 970 gaming actually spitting flames but it was made private so the video with the the krait getting smoked is the next best option to display why its a bad idea.

hahaha that's nuts. i would rather stay amd so do you have a mother board that would be best for this cpu in mind? and also i hear that a good cpu fan would be fine rather than some mad expensive water-cooling stuff? if you know of any motherboards and fan cooling i should get please let me know and i will look in to it. again any and all help is appreciated .
