I need quick response

With the proper bios update, yes.

socket wise yes.

 

but you need to update bios for sure.

May the light have your back and your ISO low.

Don't buy that motherboard, it's power delivery is not made for a FX-eight core CPU. Go with the new Asrock 970m pro 3.

It's not about the oc, it's about stable operation at stock volts and clocks. Maybe you are budget limited but I would not cheap out on the motherboard and if you need a mATX Motherboard, get the asrock 970m Pro 3 .

Get this instead so you can upgrade to the 9590 one day. Idc what anyone says, that factory OC'd 8350 is worth every penny in my book. Budget server rigs can't get any better.

What kind of server would be optimal with a 9590..? The high power draw is generally the opposite of what's desirable for most servers.

You dont need that much horsepower for a server just stick with the basics

  Virtual Machine servers.

The cheaper and lower power 8320e would probably be more appropriate.

Hard to say as I just can't imagine it giving the performance that my 9590 does running Windows 10 preview as my main OS with one Windows 8.1 VM, two Windows seven VM's, and three Ubuntu VM's all open and streaming media.

The only difference between the two is the clock speed. Try underclocking the 9590 and see how it performs.

Will do and see. I imagine single threaded performance will take a huge hit though. The only gains I could see would be stability wise but honestly that hasn't been a problem for me running it stock anyways. Just curious...what do you expect would increase with an underclock? It's not like I'm running a dual Opteron setup lol.

The point of underclocking would be to experience how a 8320e would perform since you mentioned how you couldn't see how the 8320e would be able to hold up.

I underclocked it to 3.7 which was pretty generous and trust me, the 9590 is better from a raw performance perspective. As expected, single threaded applications on each VM took a huge hit. One 50 minute Fraps recording of WoW that I could norally compress to DivX on each desktop in 5 minutes took 9. The other problem is that spikes in CPU usage, while still in the same percentage range, tend to last a bit longer. I do not understand what the point of this was. It was pretty much what I expected. Lower clock speeds slowed my CPU's ability to process data. The only positive is less power consumption and possibly more stability in some scenarios, I'd imagine. Even then, proper cooling will handle that.

Will asus M5A78L-M/USB 3 support AMD FX 8300?

you can run one in it (i have done with a mild oc) but i wouldnt recommend it purely because an msi 970 would be worth the extra money.

fx4's and fx6's are great for the m5a board and can be overclocked very well in it.

fx4-m5a board and heavy overclock is fine

fx6-m5a board and overclock to 4.2-4.5ghz on a budget

fx6-msi 970 board and overclock as high as you like but 4.5 is a great easy thing to do because of a better VRM and brings ALLOT of benefits such as tons of sata 6 ports, sli/cf, better onboard audio, pci slots that dont restrict airflow to graphics cards, better looks...

fx8-msi 970 board, all the benefits of here^ but with 33% more cpu for a few extra bucks so gaming, streaming and transcoding etc is a breeze for a combo that costs less than an i5K with no board.

Consider that most 8320e's should easily oc to 4.2ghz+ and cost about half as much as the 9590.

Without a doubt and honestly for the performance, I'd say that the gap with an overclock on the 8320e would probably not even matter. With the way the 9590 and boards that support it have dropped in price, and continue to do so I'd still recommend it to most. Most people are gonna spend around $100 on their mobo anyways so that part is covered. Spend around $100 on a H100i and bit more on your PSU and you're good. One great thing about the 9590 is you get a great OC without voiding warranty. That's still a huge plus to most people, including myself. To some that wouldn't matter though.

The way I see it is that if you wanna save $100 on your CPU, $50 on your PSU, and $50 on your cooler but still be able to run 6 virtual machines well, get an 8320e or 8350. If you wanna do all that but with slightly better performance and good factory OC, can't go wrong with a 9590. Just whatever you do, don't buy the Black Edition cause that cooler isn't good enough to keep it stable under heavy loads. They also charge you $70 more for a $40 cooler.

How would the oc not matter? They're essentially the same cpu at different clock speeds.

Unless there are visible burns on the cpu, the warranty should still be claimable. 

I don't see how you 'can't go wrong with a 9590' when it costs about twice as much with what you've listed for not much more performance.

 

CPU: AMD FX-8320E 3.2GHz 8-Core Processor  ($128.98 @ NCIX US) 
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3P ATX AM3+ Motherboard  ($61.98 @ Newegg) 
Total: $219.91
 
CPU: AMD FX-9590 4.7GHz 8-Core OEM/Tray Processor  ($217.99 @ SuperBiiz) 
CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i 77.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler  ($92.53 @ Amazon) 
Motherboard: ASRock 970 Performance ATX AM3+ Motherboard  ($92.98 @ Newegg)

I said that the gap in performance between a 9590 and an overclocked 8320e wouldn't matter...as in the performance will be similar.

That said, you will never get 5ghz out of an 8320e and you'd be lucky to find an 8350 that you can hit 4.7 on without hitting your voltage wall. The 9590 does it stock and without voiding your warranty. That is worth it to me.

Also when it comes to burn marks, it's really not hard at all to visibly burn a cpu trying to push 5ghz. Plus I'd be more worried about burning my mobo socket. According to AMD, my 9590 was hand picked like a cherry for the best silicon. I believe them.
