Review: AMD FX9590 what a beast - Top Spec Processor for a fraction of the price. People talk about the heat which the FX9000 series gvies out, or AMD cpus in general, though I've found with a decent water cooler (in my case the corsair h110), my temps don't ever go over 60c and that's under full load. I'm using the Asus Crosshair V Formula Z and find overclocking to be a doddble, reaching stable OCs of 5.2Ghz. Blows an i5 and previous gen i7s out of the water. It doesn't have hyper-threading and is lacking in comparison to an octa core recent gen i7. Though when you compare a £800+ i7 to a £200- FX9590... it isn't hard to understand why it's a good CPU to choose. A few things to consider when purchasing the CPU - Do your research in terms of supported motherboards. The cpu has a 220w TDP rating, meaning not many AM3+ socketed motherboards support it. Check the manufacturers support pages. If you go down the route of choosing a board like the Asus Crosshair V Formula Z, remember that the motherboard requires an 8pin & 4pin CPU connector. So that's 2 PCIE/CPU PSU slots taken up on it's own. Some Graphics cards require a 2 connectors aswell. So that's 4 cpu/pcie slots taken up on your PSU. PSUs like the Corsair 750w, only have space for 3.... bear that in mind. Cooling - high end air coolers will work with the FX9590. I recommend water cooling, you can pick up refurbished watercoolers for £50. If you're using air coolers, remember that the hot air will be vented inside your case. So you will need decent intake/outake fans to provide the air cooler with fresh cool air.
Review: Super chip! Worked straight out of the box - Super chip ! Worked straight out of the box, but definitely needs a water cooler :) Be sure to pick one that can handle 250W TDP or more. For me, it seems best to use one water system for the GPU and one for the CPU. That way, if one fails, only one thing is put at risk. Also, a lot of high-end graphics cards come with a fitted water-cooler or air, without an option to add a cooling head to your current CPU system. Only time will tell if we end up with two separate systems, or one with two heads Some instabilities with my setup, but mostly caused by me and a learning curve with my board.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this the version that includes the liquid cooling unit?**
A: To be honest, I don't know!. I live in UK and I purchased this FX-9590 from Novatech but it did not come with any cooling unit. I am using my Alpenfohn K2 mount doom air cooler. Right now, idle cpu temperature is 36c, motherboard is 25c, GPU1 is 30c and GPU2 is 27c. My rig - FX-9590, Asus Crosshair V Formula Z, 16GB Team Extreme 2400MHz RAM, 2x770GTX (sli), 1TB Samssung evo (boot drive), 1TB Samsung evo (games), WD caviar black 2TB HDD, Hitachi 4TB HDD, Creative ZXR, Coolermaster 1200W 80+ pro gold silent psu. Perhaps in USA this item does come with an AIO liquid cooler. Best to email Amazon customer service and ask them.

**Q: Is there any reason to get this if i already have the 8370 OC to 4.5 alway?**
A: The 9590 is a whole nother breed of chip, YES I would get it even if you are getting 4.6/4.7 OC Because overclocking is NOT proven to benchmark any higher or better performance, believe me i'v done overclocking on many CPU's and GPU's and never found any benefit in doing so. Yes it will say the MHz/ghz are clocked higher but the performance is never there to back it up. The MAIN reason I went from my 8350 to a 9590 is this: Every FX chip that is below the 9000 series has a memory controller that supports up to 1600mhz d3 sdram in Duel Ganged or 1333mhz with more than 2 memory modules populated. Also the 8320/8350/and 8370 actually only truly have 4 Cores and a total of 8 Logical cores. The 9000 series supports a memory controller up to 1866mhz Duel channel RAM and 8 True Cores. I would rather have a Factory clocked 9590 5.1ghz than software Over Clocked' Just because you can OC to some super high speed doesn't mean it will do much difference.

**Q: Can you name me motherboards that will accept this chip?**
A: Here is a list of a few compatable motherboards with this chip - https://pcpartpicker.com/parts/motherboard/?compatible_with=amd-cpu-fd9590fhhkwofPersonally, I have that very core installed in the ASRock 990FX Extreme 9. Make sure you do NOT attempt to run it without a water cooler, as you may experience issues.

**Q: If i can keep an 8350 at 20c or less with Prime95 should my cooling system be good enough for this or do i need more?**
A: not necessarily. 8350 stock clock? which is 125 watts Vs. 9590 at 220 watts. If u are overclocking your 8350 to say 4.6ghz or higher then your cooling is probably adequate. I would not use anything less than a thick 120mm AIO liquid cooler, and a 240/280mm AIO would be ideal.

Super chip ! Worked straight out of the box, but definitely needs a water cooler :) Be sure to pick one that can handle 250W TDP or more. For me, it seems best to use one water system for the GPU and one for the CPU. That way, if one fails, only one thing is put at risk. Also, a lot of high-end graphics cards come with a fitted water-cooler or air, without an option to add a cooling head to your current CPU system.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Be warned! You get a lot of performance for the money,but it comes at a price
*by M***K on 16 May 2017*

Be warned! You get a lot of performance for the money,but it comes at a price, and that is nuclear reactor level heat!Only buy this if you don't mind investing at least £200 in a n open loop water cooling system! I'm giving this cpu 5 because it's only problem, and it's quite a big one is the immense heat it generated under load. Though it is sold as an 'enthusiast' unit and they do recommend you use water cooling for it. So you can't say they didn't warn you. Now, i knew it would need water cooling so when i bough this bought a closed loop arctic cooling freezer 240mm radiator with integrated pump and cpu block. It was about £49 of offer also on amazon. Unfortunately though It wasn't up to the task. I personally think it was the integrated pump that was waaaay too small, couldn't dissipate the heat quickly enough. It wasn't that the radiator would get too hot, it would just blue screen as soon as iy was on a stress test. It worked fine at idel and doing moderate tasks, but under full load it couldn't keep the processor stable. So i upgraded to a Raijintek 280mm closed unit watercooling system with a slightly more powerful pump. Again, same problem. It just couldn't handle the temps and i suspected it was down to the tiny 4 watt pumps this type of system has. As I wanted to get into water cooling anyway i decided, rather than send the AMD back and put a bit of extra money towards an Intel, to stick to my guns and go for a full open loop cooling system. So I invested in a 280x140x45 (Length, width, thickness respectively) full copper radiator, with a large cylindrical reservoir, a EK waterblock with copper fins, and a 16watt Phobya pump with an 800ltr per hour output. With the tubing, all the compression fittings, distilled water, biocide, and extra fans, set me back about £250... Now, that kind of ruins the initial value of this cpu, but if you want to get into water cooling anyway at least you are saving a lot of money on your cpu. And what better way to test the integrity of your water cooling loop than with this monster of a cpu? The cpu now run stable on a stress test for as long as you like, and performs very well. My friends intel i7 that cost about the same, maybe slightly less than my amd with the water cooling only has about 15% better score on a benchmark test. And the difference is when i come to upgrade, i can use my water cooling system for my next build. So I'm happy with my setup. And i'm happy with the cpu, It runs all my games smoothly, does everything fast. What more do you need. I'm not sure if i had a slightly dodgy unit because some people report that a closed loop water cooler is adequate. It wasn't for mine though, so because the added expense might spoil the initial value for some people, i can't give it more than 4 stars because even though i like it, not everyone will want to spend £250 on a comprehensive open loop water cooling system. I hope this helps some of you make a decision!
