How to stop my AMD FX 9590 from freezing

[bechede]

Hello,

I had a motherboad that didn't support my CPU. I bought this one: Gigabity 990fx Gaming - https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-ALC1150-Gaming-Motherboard-GA-990FX/dp/B019C3S2CS#
which is supposed to support my CPU.

I can use the internet, play CS, watch streams, however, when I try to play Playerunknow Battleground, after a few minutes or sometime hours, my PC freezes. I can't alt tab. Just freezes.
I have dual monitors. I tried to remove one to test and still freezes. I thought It could be the GPU, then I increased the GPU fan speed. Still freezes. I changed my power source to another power outlet. Still freezes. I opened my case and put a outside fan to reduce the total heat, it worked, however still freezes.

I don't know what else to do. What can it be? What should I do ?

My setup:
Mobo: Gigabity 990fx Gaming (https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-ALC1150-Gaming-Motherboard-GA-990FX/dp/B019C3S2CS#)
CPU: FX 9590
Cooler: Hyper 212 Evo
GPU: Geforce GTX 660 ti
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16gb (2x 8gb) 1600mgz - CMZ16GX3M2A1600C10 -
HD: Seagate ST1000DM003-1CH162
Power Supply: Corsair hx850w

TDL: PC freezes and does not recover. Just leave the last image on the screen. I tried a few things but nothing worked. What can I do?

Well, what are the temperatures now? That's a very weak cooler to have on this CPU.

Choice number one would be to return the 9590 if you're still in the return window. It's a nightmare of a CPU.

 

[mrobscura]

get a different cpu.

j/k

but as mentioned a 212 on that isnt going to cut it.

ya, my AM3+ experience with any cpu/ board = cut my losses and go intel for my first time ever in 16 years - I all ways built AMD but wow , never satisfied .. junk boxed all that AM3+ stuff ordered a z87 and haswell 4670 and for no reason can I say it was a bad move right from first fire up and up till today

that AM3+ had to be a joke , but I was not laughing

good luck

The FX-9590 has a TDP draw of 220W and demands an efficient Voltage delivery when it requires it on demand.
As the cooler you are using is totally inadequate then you will continue to have heat related issues.
Not only that but the MB VRMs get hot and that to will shut down your system.

There is only a couple of things you can do.
1. Replace the cooler with an AIO liquid H105 or better.
2. Replace the MB with one that fully supports the CPU with high grade VRMs and a better UEFI Bios.

I have two systems running FX-9590 at 5.2Ghz and stable. However I have H110 AIO coolers and my MB is Crosshair V Formula Z.

The FX-9590 is a beast of a processor which can be tamed. It's a very capable CPU but does have special requirements.

I bought this Mobo because of it's TDP. Gibabity said it supports 220W from my FX-9590.
Unfortunatly, I can't return my CPU.
About the VRM's, I really don't know anything about that.

The images below are from my PC heat:

http://prnt.sc/ewm1fo - After playing one match.

Thanks for the replies.
If I had to keep my CPU and Mobo. What should I do? Change cooler and what else can I do to stable the CPU (if that is really the problem).

my buddies son got a corsair v8 on his 220w cpu and he still struggles with heat trying to keep the cpu from thermal throttling on a asrock 990fx extreme 9

The VRMs are the Northbridge capacitors that regulate voltage.
You should replace your cooler if you are to keep the CPU and, if you can fit one in your tower case.
That would keep the CPU temps in check.
As far as your NB VRMs are concerned, you can either install a fan directed at the VRMs which would help or downclock the CPU in Bios and lower your CPU Core voltage.

The images you have shown do not indicate the system under stress load so can't comment.
You would have to open the Core utilization tab in HWMonitor to show all cores at 100%. If not at 100% then your system is at idle. If the system is at idle then your package temps are high at 63C.

Ideal temperatures at idle are 10-15C above ambient room temperature and 60-65C under load.

True, but you're also very good at this! It's not a CPU for the less experienced.

Thank you however bechede has indicated he cannot return the CPU. If the FX-9590 requirements are met it is not difficult even for the less experienced and there is plenty of help here on the Forum by the willing to help him stabilize his system. It matters not the CPU or system, we all have to learn if we want the best from our rigs. Don't you agree.?

I like others struggled at first to understand the requirements of the FX-9590. I did not buy it for gaming but for the 8 cores as I do a lot of CAD 3d rendering and some video editing. This is where the FX-9590 shines and all my games are MAXed on settings.

''2. Replace the MB with one that fully supports the CPU with high grade VRMs and a better UEFI Bios.''

that's a good one but been there done that + cpu's + memory as I said I cut my losses after the 3ed go round to get anything I was satisfied with and went intel [buy right and smart and buy once ] then enjoy not here hoping to get a answer on how to make it so

its a hunk of junk and amd had to near admit that themselves

''What has hurt AMD is a big bet on a Bulldozer architecture — in which two CPU integer cores share a floating-point unit and other components — that simply didn’t work out. “Everyone knows that Bulldozer was not the game-changing part when it was introduced three years ago,” then-CEO Rory Read said at a Deutsche Bank event. “We have to live with that for four years [through 2015]. .

worse platform I ever built 3 boards 3 cpu's 3 memory kits dog slow poor stability like my amd fan boy buddy even said ''my old 939 build does a better job and works when I need it to '''

and then his son I brought up above wished he never got in .. back then if you were to ask us if we were going to build intel we would of said your crazy , my how times have changed . then you got that 220w novelty cpu on top of that that's been nothing but issues for the masses using them .

hope you get it to work but thet now a 7 yrear old platform and so far behind , heck it was behind even with the intels that were released at that time @85w . ya it cost more to build but as they say you get what you pay for and some times less


box stock i5 non k 1600mem vs 220w AMD overclocked and oc 1866 memory as well form my own personal runs that box stock i5 100 sec faster then amds that's 2+2=4 4+4=8 duaaa 8+8=16

Dear Dear, sounds like the rant of someone with serious system issues.

May be you can't help after all, yet you kept going back for more.

Yes I agree the platform and FX-~~~series is end of life, however you just don't want it to lay in peace, but guess what fanboy's here comes Ryzen. Will you make a mess of that too.?

 

[junkeymonkey]

no it was trying to saty with AMD as I allways did and seen the light not just me also my buddy and his son we all like in 3 diff towns and built there more die hard AMD fans then me and were totally let down + a lot of money spent trying to make something satisfying out of it , pretty sad platform

any way good luck and enjoy [enjoy,? funny ,lol ] more like enjoy trying to make it work out to any satisfaction is more like it , I think hes seeing that

sad you got to down vote the truth

 

[MeanMachine41]

Yes I'm enjoying my Ryzen build. You can checkout my sticky if you wish.

My opinion, getting the FX "under control" probably doesn't make financial sense. Admittedly not everything we do needs to make financial sense, but I'd just like to throw this out there:

After spending ~$100 (give or take) on a better cooler, another $10-20 on fans, and $130-150 on a new motherboard, you could actually buy a complete Core i5 motherboard + CPU which would greatly outperform the FX in most tasks. Even better would be to put the FX-9590 and OP's current motherboard up on eBay - for less than the additional price of a cooler, OP could have a Ryzen system, or one built around an Intel Core i7.

This bench doesn't have the 9590 but it does have the 8370, which is only ~15% slower than the FX-9590. Some basic math suggests that dumping hundreds of dollars into getting the FX stable would still give bottom of the barrel gaming performance.
