You Said: "It is already at its thermal max from the factory."

CPU's only attained its thermal max if the CPU is 100% under load.
 
How about not be lazy and just overclock the FX 8350 you have then? Average overclock is also in the general range of 4.6-4.7. FX 9590 is a waste of money. Scream fanboy all you want. The obvious fanboy here is you. You lash out like a little kid that was told no because they didn't get the shiny new toy they wanted. The money wasted on a 9590 is nearly enough for an FX 8350 and 990fxa-ud3 at microcenter. Since you want to upgrade the CPU in the 4130 rig, just buy a $130 FX 8320 and set it to 20x multiplier for FX 8350 speeds. My FX 8320 rigs have that same board, and that is what I have done with mine. I have nothing against AMD. It is just anything above and FX 8320 just flat out isn't a value.

 



You are right. Everybody talks about "future proofing". Like a few hundred MHz on the same architecture makes a difference. Future proofing would be having a Core2Duo and magically being able to buy an I7 4670K before they even existed!
 



You just keep proving how clueless you are.
 



Maybe he doesn't have a clue about about ram timings, LLC, Vcore, package temps, CPU-NB, HT Link, Prime95. He is great at hurling insults from his folks basement!
 


 
 
 
This post has turned into a battle from a discussion. To tell you the truth, I think these people (Or fanboys, as you're calling them) are into the gaming culture for a greater period of time than you do. That's why they know the difference between an intel and an amd. Greater frequencies, more overclocking just don't judge the processor's quality. I'm not saying that amd doesn't stand a chance in front of intel, but still, intel is a better option always.
If you buy an i7 with the money that is needed for an amd 9590, you'll gain in all possible ways.
If you want to know about the reasons, post it in a separate post, because this post has gone too long with your pointless arguments and criticisms. After all, TH is a discussion forum, not a forum to fight about one's personal opinions and interests.
