is the asrock fatal1ty 990fx killer good enough for the fx 9590?

[joselo025]

i have this board and i wanted to know if my mobo can handle it ;D

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

No it can't.


Your choices for the 9590:

ASRock 990FX Extreme9
Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z
Asus M5A99FX PRO R2.0
Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0
Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 R4.0
Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD5
Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD7
MSI 990FXA-GD80V2

AMD.COM

Warning: This power draw of this CPU is almost twice that of the average CPU. Due to this, AMD recommends using at minimum a 1000W power supply. For cooling, AMD recommends using either either closed loop liquid cooling or full system liquid cooling.

If you haven't bought this chip yet, go with the 8350. The only difference other than power consumption is that its essentially an absurdly overclocked version of the 8350. And if AMD is saying you need a loop to cool it as well as a minimum of a 1000W PSU then it might not be worth it.

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

It's not worth it , it's like putting a volcano on a motherboard.

as black bird tryed to state only a hand few of boards support the 220w chips there beefed up to supply the power the chips require

 

[joselo025]

and what about the fx 8370?

 

[jdcranke07]

The only real difference in between the 8370 and the 8350 is price. Other than that they only boosted the turbo clock in the 8370 from 4.2 to 4.3Ghz. So, your paying an extra ~$20.00 USD for .1Ghz in stock turbo speed. The OC'ing is not going to be much different if any in between the 8350 and the 8370. So, you might as well just go with the 8350 and save ~$20.00.

 

[jdcranke07]

I don't know how well the 8370E will OC, but if it can do a decent job then maybe that's the answer. It typically runs about 95W vs. the 125W of the 8350 and 8370. All of which are way better than the 225W of the 9590.

Who said Custom Liquid Cooling is a lot of money?

 

[jdcranke07]

No one has said that on here. The only thing mentioned about liquid cooling on this thread was that it is mandatory to have a loop if he decided to go with the FX-9590 CPU. I personally recommend liquid cooling regardless of which CPU he chooses out of the 8xxx-9xxx series because they do produce so much heat. Whether that be an AIO CPU cooler or a full custom loop doesn't really matter. Although the custom loop will be better for maintenance and longevity. However, a custom loop will be more expensive than an AIO closed loop cooler. I have a Corsair h80i cooling off my 8350 in my first build. Its OC'd to 4.6Ghz with slight BUS OC as well. Works perfectly fine and cool. I saved the custom loop for my 4790K build.

i still dont know what to buy, how much does a fx 8350 overclock to 5ghz consume?

Its still going to use the same amount of power as the 9590. BUT, you might not get above 4.7Ghz depending on the manufacturing of the chip itself. Not to mention there is not really a benefit to OC'ing to 5.0Ghz on any AMD processor. If you wanted to get great performance and still be able to OC near or at 5.0Ghz then Intel is the way to go. I have a 4790K that will out perform all AMD processors at stock and it's OC'd to 4.7Ghz.

ok i see i will search some benchmarks
but first i already have the board
Second i dont see any reason why to go to intel because i dont want to have 4 cores and i know intel have ht but i wont pay 340 dollars for a quad core chip
Third if i do go with intel it will be on the x99 platform with a i7 5820k 6 cores 12 thread but right now ddr4 is overprice and x99 boards are too
and four i didnt ask for a intel amd war i just dont care

do you recommend me to buy a fx 8350 and overclock it to 5ghz?

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

No guarntee you will get 5ghz.

 

[joselo025]

No guarntee you will get 5ghz.

so?

 

[Tradesman1]

What do you plan to use the rig for?

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Get a 8320 and overclock it.

 

[joselo025]

Get a 8320 and overclock it.

i already had a fx 8320 and it was a dead overclocker i couldnt even overclock it to 4.4

 

[joselo025]

What do you plan to use the rig for?

video editing and gaming

 

[Tradesman1]

Gaming and editing I'd go Intel, but the 8350/8370 will be a good choice also and the Killer would be a good mobo for either, be sure to get a good cooler (212 EVO is very good and very reasonable ($35 or so)....

 

[joselo025]

i have a h100i cpu cooler from corsair but i cant choose between the fx 9590 or the fx 8350

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

I received a killer chip I made 5ghz. easy.

Luck of the draw.

 

[joselo025]

ok so a fx 8350 it is

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

It's the right choice.
