Lately I have been having so many problems with my FX-9590 and I have thought it out and I want to get a new processor, my budget is £100 and it must be AM3+ socket, I will most likely sell my FX-9590 if anyone will even buy it on ebay. Thanks in advanced ! I will answer asap

Why would you get the 9590 in the first place lol.

Get either an 8320e or an 8320 : http://www.amazon.co.uk/AMD-FX8320-Edition-4-0GHz-Socket/dp/B009O7YU56/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1427540112&sr=8-2&keywords=fx+8320e

Because I didn't do any research on it because I am a retard. Anyway thanks, I will be getting the 8320. Do you think anyone will even buy the 9590 on ebay considering how shit it is?

Personally getting the 8320 would also be stupid. The 9590 is basically the same cpu just overclocked. I edited my first post. Can't you downclock the 9590?

I own a 9590, it's unstable as hell.

don't get rid of it, just down clock it to 4.5 or 4.6

 

download AMD overdrive, turn the multiplier down on the core. it will show you the target speed before you apply changes.

if you crash, do not freak out. just try again, and try to lock your voltage.

if the 9590 turns up the useage it draws more power, and only like 8 MoBos have the power capabilities to support it.

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.
