AMD FX 9590

[JimmyCampero]

I wanted to ask if the msi 970 gaming motherboard supports the fx 9590 because i saw many people online saying it does support it, but msi says its doesn't and also amd says it's supported and now i am confused

[Rangelov]

I really doubt it does !

[s3ns3]

no. 6+2 phase

I sincerely hope you're not planning to get it because it's complete and utter shite. You can get a 4790k with a z97 board for the money you need for a 9590 and a beefy as hell board

i woad go wight 990fx boards like m5 990fx from asus or something like that

[SuperPug]

It would probably melt...

What you're going to do with a 10 years old 350W CPU?

^^this...the FX-9590 performs nowhere near even a lower end locked core i5-4460 CPU when it comes to gaming, and for multi-threaded task it competes with the i5-4690K...

If you need a cpu for gaming get the i5-4690K and if you need a well rounded CPU that is a beast at everything including content creation get the i7-4790K.

The AMD FX CPU's came out in 2011 and they are seriously outdated by now intel has much better performer at EVERY price range wheter it's an i3, i5 or i7 just do yourself a favor and buy an intel CPU.

Maybe he wants a room heater.

it was just curiosity, i already have an i7-3770

[vitor_cut]

i have seen a pcper podcast where they put a fx-9590 in a msi 970 gaming and it worked and even overclocked, but i recomend a 8+2 phase disign at leat just for be safe

The board doesn't support anything higher than a 8350.

Its because it says 9 series and people think its the 9 series CPU when it's actually the chipset.

then, the MSI 970 gaming is a motherboard with a 6+2 power phase and good heatsink it *COULD* probably handle the FX-9590 at stock for a while provided you would have good airflow over the VRM's area...but it's not something i would recommend.

It could work for a while but the motherboard could crap on you the first day and kill the CPU...that'S why a good 8+2 990FX motherboard is required...Asrock has launched a new 970 motherboard with stronger VRM's and an 8+2 powerphase that is said to be good enough for the FX-9590, here it is (again can't stress this enough this CPU is a piece of crap and an higher number won't mean shit it's just an overclocked FX-8320 on steroid it performs the same and intel had CPU back in 2009 that outperforms this CPU in both single-threaded AND multi-threaded workloads (i7-960 for example)

Yeah it's possible with beta bios.... you'll have to call MSI and sweet talk a tech into giving you access to the bios.....

[Kyzer]

who the hell dug this up from the grave?

No, the 970 gaming does not support the 9590. It will boot it, but the VRM will bake to hell and it will give you an error in the bios.

except AMD chips have to run cooler than Intel chips. 

 

This whole joke doesn't actually make sense.
