FD9590FHHKWOF Fx-9590 OEM Fx-Series 8-core Black Edition

PROS: - She's blazing fast when done right. With my cooling setup, I was able to hold it stable at 5.1GHz. Performance at those speeds is very impressive. - For what you can get from it, the price point is reasonable, especially when compared with Intel chips. - For multitasking (video editing and the like) this CPU is incredible. CONS: - As stated before, there's not much room for overclocking, so if you want it to run at 5.0+, you're going to need some skill. - This thing runs HOT AS BLAZES. You will need either a really good liquid cooling solution (dual fan dedicated radiator or better) or an absolutely incredible air cooling solution. I honestly don't think air cooling is viable, but at stock clocks it should be fine. Concerning details such as the CPU's 220 wattage and limited selection of motherboard compatibility, these are things you should be researching before you buy the product. I have an ASUS Crosshair V Formula-Z. Overall, I don't regret the purchase and still feel it's a better buy than much of what Intel offers, especially considering the price.

This item should work right out of the box. It doesn't. For about 5 hours, my screen would freeze and I had to restart my computer. This would happen every time there was anything even remotely graphically intense running on my screen. Even a simple adobe flash video would freeze it. I have a lot of extra parts and duplicates of what is in my machine, so I carefully removed each part and replaced it with another to try and pinpoint where the issue was. At first I thought it might be a driver issue, so I made sure I had the most up to date drivers. That didn't work, so I switched my 7950's out for my 270x's and had the same problem. I considered that maybe it was a crossfire issue, so I removed one card and the crossfire, no change. I then did a test on my ram to make sure all 32gb were working and they were flawless. I switched out hard drives to see if for some reason that was an issue and reinstalled windows as well as all updates. No dice. Finally I decided to take off my liquid cooling and switch out the CPU. BAM! It worked! Sadly, if my CPU had to be switched out, that meant there was an issue with the new 9590 that I purchased. I searched online for people experiencing the same problems and found that in order for the 9590 to work, I would need to enter the bios, turn off C1 and C6 as well as the turbo. I know many of you are thinking, "You probably didn't have enough power for everything! The 9590 is very power hungry!" Well, I did have enough power with my 1200w Corsair when all that was really needed was a 700w Rosewell. I'm not very happy with the purchase, but I'm not entirely dissapointed because it IS better than my previous CPU. I wouldn't recommend this one to anyone as it's really just a slightly more powerful 8350. Just buy the 8350 for less and get almost the exact same performance with less power usage. ***UPDATE*** After only 14 months the CPU died. Biggest waste of money.

A powerful chip for sure, but know what you're getting into. There is a short list of compatible boards, all of them no longer made and most very pricy. I picked up the ASRock 970A-G/3.1 as it was the easiest to obtain and the only compatible board that was reasonably priced, but know that it struggles as it uses doublers to meet the power phase requirement of the chip. This is just an overclocked 8xxx series CPU like many have stated, but recently its price has fallen below the 8 series frequently so I bought this and downclocked it to 4.4GHz with Turbo disabled and undervolted to 1.337V (for me these settings are completely stable and run low temperatures with my fan/cooling setup). The stock CPU voltage is over 1.5V, near the limit of the CPU. Cooling was an issue at "stock" settings with a Corsair 115i AIO. The biggest issue isn't the processor overheating but the socket/NB as liquid cooling provides no airflow, this leads to the motherboard CPU sensor reading 80C+ temperatures and massive CPU throttling . I set up a memory cooler over the NB/VRM heatsink which helped immensely and I suggest at least some kind of fan over the NB/VRM heatsink in any case. Normally I don't review but I wanted to inform other interested system builders.

Honestly, I haven't used an AMD processor in years. I used to be one of those elitists that always had to pay the extra money for the best performance. Recently I wanted to upgrade my computer and figured I would try out AMD since the price on this was recently lowered, and not much a performance difference than Intels 4770k. I honestly can say it performs great for what I need it to do. I am by no means an electronics engineer, so I can not attest to all the spec differences or draw backs, but I do enjoy playing PC games, and I have not had any issues with this one. I also got that ASUS Crossfire Formula-Z and a R9 290x, and I have not had any issues on performance. In fact I am tempted to upgrade to a 120hz monitor due to the fact that there is only a few games where the frames per second drop below 60hz. Over clocking is easy and simple, though I wasn't able to squeeze too much extra power due to running an air cooling setup. From what I researched, AMD does not plan to release any new FX series chips out for a while. But considering the new next generation consoles run AMD as well, I do expect a lot of the new games to be AMD optomized. Which should mean I hopefully won't need to upgrade anytime soon. If you are looking for a solid performer, consider this product. It seems there are a lot of arguements for and against it, but I am happy with it over all.

The FX 9590 is simply an overclocked FX 8350 (in comparison, not literally.) This means it's a terrible overclocking CPU as it's already overclocked. This series of CPUs were also known to be considered "ovens" by the general public & overclocking community. With diamond thermal paste, an open case, a closed water system, & extremely powerful corsair fans it still hovers around 46-50 degress during normal use (like watching youtube videos.) During gaming sessions, it jumps up to 61 degrees. If you're doing CPU intensive processing it'll immediately hit 70 degrees even with a very good closed water-cooling system like a Corsair h115i. This is most likely why overclocks fail & the PC freezes as well since it is hitting the thermal wall right as it starts to "stretch its legs" which is a similar issue to Intel's i9 9980XE...another oven. The difference between the 9980XE & this though is that the 9980XE has 18 cores & the FX-9590 has only 8... To test the processing power of this CPU I decided to stream with software encoding turned on to bypass my GPU. Immediately this CPU went into bottlenecking when doing 1080p, 60 fps. Everything stopped & stuttered on the PC & the stream was unwatchable. It was like I was using a PC back in the 90s again. I also tried video editing & the results weren't great as well. I have it overclocked to 4.82 GHz as it could handle 5GHz at first then just "couldn't" one day & I had to lower it to 4.92 then 4.82. Trying to render video is a nightmare as if you're doing anything else while the video is rendering the PC freezes, forcing you to start the entire process over again. It also takes at least double the time of the video length to render the video. A 9-hour video of a stream took about 20 hours to render, meaning I couldn't use this PC for 20 hours for fear of it freezing. I turned off the overclock & things seemed to work fine, I haven't experienced any freezing while rendering. Gaming wise when paired with a good GPU it works extremely well, able to handle all games on 1080p ultra at about 55-60+ fps depending on the game. If it's not graphics intensive, you're pretty much guaranteed 100+ fps. It can even handle 4k optimized extremely well. Liquid metal application is a breeze & makes this processor much more efficient. Using Conductonaut I dropped from 46-50 celcius average average temps to 29-30 celsius! Everything runs much smoother & I am going to retest streaming, rendering videos, etc. now that the thermal wall seems to have been conquered! So far with liquid metal I was able to bump it back up to a comfortable 4.92GHz with only a 6 celsius rise in temps with the voltage change from 1.47 to 1.49 volts on the cpu vcore. I've tried bumping the OC to 5.0, but it fails Prime95 even though it doesnt come close to 70 celsius even with 1.53 volts on the cpu. It seems I might just have been unlucky in the silicon lottery as cores 1&3 fail first always meaning they are weak cores. As long as I didn’t do anything processor intensive, I could run 5.0GHz fine though since it's not engaging cores 1&3 as much. There have been a few people able to overclock this thing to 5+ GHz & at one point I was running 5 GHz for a few weeks before it just "couldn't." Those people must've won the silicon lottery as there are a of ton of people in the same boat as me. Overall, it's a powerful chip that is inefficient & terrible with heat dissipation. I suspect if you're running some crazy liquid nitrogen setup you can tame the heat & have this chip realize its full potential, but for everyone else just stick with the 8350 or move on to a Ryzen as in 2018 this chip shows it's age & will bottleneck modern GPUs as the hardware it's paired is so far behind now. This processor can run VR when paired with a good GPU like a 980 Ti. If you need to rely heavily on just the CPU though look elsewhere. There's a reason this CPU is nicknamed "Faildozer."

This is the best CPU I have used. It is fast and efficient for the price. As the specifications state, liquid cooling is required. I have an Enermax LIQMAX II 120S on mine. It is setup as the picture shows, one fan pulling the air and one pushing it. Even so, the processor has heated close to max. I am using this CPU with ASUS AM3+ M.2 USB3.1 SafeSlot AMD ATX Motherboard (TUF Sabertooth 990FX R3.0) and 2 sets of G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900) Desktop Memory F3-1866C9D-16GXM . From the moment I press my power button to the moment I can use my computer is about 24 seconds, literally. Loading the same software, firmware, etc. on my build from last year took about 3 minutes. That one had AMD FD8320FRHKBOX FX-8320 FX-Series 8-Core Black Edition Processor , 2 sticks of 1600, and I forget what model the motherboard was. Both builds are using the exact same 960GB SSD from PNY. That being said, this processor has helped to create a huge improvement.

My old PC was nuked by a failed power Supply it was 8 years old so I wasn't out much. Been assembling my own computers for over 25 years and this time I decided to go "whole hog" with a overkill system. I have always used AMD processors in My builds. The reviews of the FX-9590 where good and the price was right so I decided to use it. It is installed in a ASUS Crosshair V Formula-Z motherboard and is cooled by a Corsair Hi100GTX liquid cooler all installed in a Corsair 750D full tower case. The first MB has problems in the BIOS/CMOS so I exchanged it, I also replaced the CPU. I am sure there was nothing wrong with it but I have learned after all of the years I have built my own PC's that in this situation that it is best to replace both. Thanks Amazon! My PC are the heart of my AV system and I am very pleased with it. Almost went Apple this time after several month of iPad only and the cost of an iMac or MacBook Pro I decided to do another PC and this time build something I would not have to upgrade for many years.

Alors oui, de la puissance ! Impressionnant. Avec Windows 8.1, une cg de 4 go, 32 go de ram, un vrai régal pour les jeux ! Tout en ultra, enfin. Mais attention, l'engin chauffe fort, j'ai dû passer en watercooling pour ramener la température à un niveau acceptable. Donc, que du plaisir, mais prévoir une grande tour bien ventilée et du watercooling. Une fois ces préalables mis en place, un pur régal ! Attention aussi à l'alimentation électrique, le moulin est gourmand... Le compagnon idéal pour une crosshair v formula z. Dernier point à considérer, les 32 gigas de ram sont limités à 16 sur Windows 7, je n'ai eu accès aux 32 go qu'une fois passé en 8.1...

WOW! I have tried almost every AM2 and AM3 chip available, This CPU is a beast. If you're in the market for an AMD CPU, don't hesitate, do your self a favor and order this one. 8 Cores running @ 5.2Ghz water cooled sits at 20 degrees and is rock solid. I actually want to order another one just because. Works awesome for games, on par with a 6700k, THIS IS an amaizing chip. 100% satisfied. I haven't overclocked yet, as I haven't needed too.

元のスペック、5年前くらいかな。 CPU：FX-8150、コルセアの水冷 マザー：GIGABITE GA-990FXA.UD7 メモリ：DDR3 1600 32GB HDD：インテルSSD128GBとHDD2TB グラボ：radeonHD6870 電源：antec HCP-850 ケース：antec soloⅡ そもそものいきさつ。 1.CPUクーラー「水冷」が5年経過したので、Kuhler H2O 950へ交換。→ケースsoloⅡに入らずP9へ交換。 2.windows7からwindows10へ→マザボが非対応？→990FXA.UD7からfxa990.gamingへ換装。 3.グラボradeonHD6870からRX480へ変更。 と、ここまでやっちゃったならドーンといってしまえ的に9590を購入。 いや、もう、ここまでやるなら新規でよくねって思われそうだが、俺もそう思う。 でもね、これ、いいよ。速いし安定してるし。いつまで俺はAM3+のソケット使ってんだろうって思う。 とりあえず、定格使用してます。ゲームやってるわけでもなく、ネット見てBR観たり音楽聴いたりサイバーのアップデート位かな。 ただ単に「漢」のCPU使ってみたかったのです。ここまできたら、VRもやってみようかな？ ああ、そうです、俺はAMD信者です。 追記：電源が落ちない（再起動のループ）になり、メモリを［XPG V3 Series DDR3 1866MHz 16GB］に交換したら、症状完治。 まさかのメモリ死亡。電源以外は新装になっちゃった。そのうち、電源もイっちゃうんだろうな。 使い勝手はすこぶる順調！オキュラスリフトも手に入り、使ってみたが、全く問題無し。 言われるほど熱くないしってか、今回の水冷が当たりだったのか。負荷かけると、ファンはブンブン回ってるけど。 SSDもm2にしたからサクサク！ CPU ：FX-9590 水冷 ：Kuhler H2O 950 マザー：GIGABITE FXA990.gaming メモリ：XPG V3 Series DDR3 1866MHz 16GB SSD ：PX-256M8PeG PX-256M8PeG-08 HDD ：HDD2TB グラボ：Sapphire NITRO+ Radeon RX 480 8G GDDR5 電源 ：antec HCP-850（こいつだけ使い回し） ケース：antec P9

Pienso que la razón del precio bajo es que tiene un problema de congelamiento si tu no lo configuras, por ejemplo yo lo configure en BIOS removiendo todo candado de ahorro de energía y suministrando mas potencia a través de voltaje con configuraciones ya pre-fabricadas en mi ASUS Sabertooth R3.0, el procesador corre de maravilla después de esto.

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.
