Question what is a good cooler for the AMD FX 9590?

[zemaa]

need to know asap

Well for a asap answer it depends on a couple of things which you didn't list such as water cooled or fan cooler, and the case size matters for both.

Maybe if you give more info 1 of the experts may drop by.

If your Case can handle a watercooler radiator upto 360mm would be my thoughts, and then install a fan blowing on the Vrm's even on the Best Mobo for that CPU.

AMD recommends a robust All-In-One Liquid CPU Cooler.
(240/280mm)

don't really want to fork out all my money on a cooler

Did you just get this CPU? Can you still return it? What motherboard do you have?

Then don't get a ridiculous CPU like the 9590.

The FX9590 is a stupidly hot 220w TDP cpu. A 240mm AIO is the bare minimum to get one of these running properly.

What motherboard do you have? Only the very best and most expensive AM3+ motherboards could run these and even then people sometimes struggled to get them stable.

Anybody who knows PC’s won’t want to touch an FX9XXX series cpu. The insane heat and power requirements added to the fact even a basic Ryzen setup will outperform them makes these a cpu to avoid.

Ok at least that should work

only really got it cause i got a great deal on it, the cpu and motherboard plus 32 gb of ram 1866mhz and an r9 290x for 100

That probably wasn't a good idea.

Sell all the other parts individually. You might get $150 in total.
Don't bother trying to build up a system around that malfunctioning space heater.

i got it cheap

 

[ohio_buckeye]

A shotgun to use that system for target practice lol.

No, I would suggest part the system out. That platform is a dead end now days. It does however look like just the CPUs like that are selling on eBay for about 100 dollars. If you are fortunate, maybe you can sell the parts individually and recover your investment.

You could probably get $300 for the GPU, ram, and motherboard in total separately.

Do that and toss the 9590 in the garbage. Spending $100+ on an AIO which is what that junk needs to run properly will not net you an extra $100 for the build.

Literally a Skylake i3-6100 games better than it.
