Help with Fx-9590

[dillonmartin78]

I have an msi fxa990 motherboard with the fx-9590 cpu in it. I dont think My arctic aio liquid cooler is enough to keep it cool. After playin gta5 for 10 mins the pc hard locks up. My question is. Should i upgrade to a bigger aio cooler. Or get a diffrent cpu?

What's your cooler rated for? I ask because it's possible you don't have it set up right. Also, have you monitored your CPU temps while playing? If so, what's going on? If you stress test the computer with Furmark or something, does that trigger a hard lock too?

I havent tress tested it. But ive had this setup for over a year an have played, h1z1, rust, ark, and other steam games with no problems. These issues started when i started playing gta5.

How's the rest of your system cooling? Is there adequate ventilation from both an intake and exhaust perspective?

Expensive but get another cpu, your chip gets beaten up by a cheap i3 or ryzen 3, that comes with a free stock cooler.

Dont invest that much into a nuclear chip with custom AIO cooling or wind turbines.

Its the arctic freezer 120

And yes it has intake and exhaust fans on it. Both running. Plus 2 other fans in case.

That's great and all, but it didn't answer my question fully. For example, I have a Corsair Obsidian 550D with 2x 120mm on the front, a 140mm intake on the bottom, 2x 120mm top exhaust, and a 140mm rear exhaust. THAT is what I was getting at with my question. How is your case in terms of cabling? Is it clean and unrestricted? Do you notice a difference if you take off your side panel in terms of lockup? Is the pump on your AIO cooler working?

It could be a combination of several things in terms of cooling and your AIO may not be adequate to rid the CPU of waste heat. That thing is plenty hot. My 8350 is hot as well (though not that hot) and I'm running OC on air with a dual 120mm HSF.

Please don't bump, especially after 30mins, you've been asked for information and we are waiting for it, the arctic freezer 120 is only a part of the story.

And to help all of the other users out there, would you care to tell us what it was?

 

[dillonmartin78]

I bought a b350 motherboard 16 gb of ddr4 ram, and a ryzen 1700 cpu.

Cool, you'll be much happier with that, the FX9XXX's are a pain, we wish they'd never been conceived of.
