Newegg "Upgrade Pack" / Motherboard

[Jayrod9121]

Is this a good deal? Will the motherboard in this package support the FX-9590 and the H100i to heir full potential?

If it does work, does anyone know of any Mobos that have all of the features this does and a USB 3.0 Header? Thank you.

Yes, this combo is a good deal. You are getting a very good 9590 8-Core on a supported 990FX board that does have USB 3.0 and SATA 6Gb/s ports. Plus, the H100i will keep that CPU Cool with little to no issues.

However, Don't expect much of an Overclock. The FX-9590, even at stock, requires a Liquid cooler like the H100i to keep it cool. I'd say at best you'd be able to get it to 5 Ghz., but nowhere beyond that, I'm afraid.

Regardless, you should expect very good performance with the FX-9590. Pair it up with a R9 270X or higher, (R9 270X, 280, 280X, 285, 290, 290X, 295X2) and you will have the ultimate gaming machine for 1080p Gaming.

Hope this helps.
