AMD FX 9590.

[LiamApex]

Read the amazon reviews for this. one guy was saying how he swapped back to his 4790k because after he changed from the 9590 to it. it kept crashing. (wonder if he reinstalled windows ?) 

 

In truth some of the reviews are saying this is a good cpu when in fact its not its 190 Pounds which is 296 USD. i wish i could make the people who buy it understand.

 

 

PS. i am not a Intel Fanboy.

an i5 destroys it in games anyway.

thats what i thought people just see 4.7 GHZ and 8 cores and think it must be the best

its a decent cpu when its used for its intended purpose, i doubt that the cpu was the issue for the crashing, it was probably trying to run intel drivers or something stupid

Tell us something we don't already know.

No it isn't. You're paying just under £90 for an overclock -- the 8320 costs £108.

its really not decent

No, it's damn expensive for what it is. It's just an overclocked, very power hungry and hot 8320.

thought this would be the case if only the people who bought this did. they could have saved there self a whole lot of dissapointment

Depends allot on where you gonne use that chip for.

There are scenario´s in which its exaly a great chip.

However the massive heat output, and higher powerconsumption, means that you need a damm good motherboard and decent cooling.

are those scenarios if you want to waste money, power and heat up the room allot ?

ah okay, you are on that level.

Doesnt make sense to continue the discussion i guess. lol

ahah i was joking what scenarios do you think its good in 

[JerkyMcDilerino]

I7 - 4770k or I7 - 4790k > FX 9590 any day! Save yourself money, buy a heater not this CPU to heats up your room. 

[SkilledRebuilds]

ahah i was joking what scenarios do you think its good in 

The 100% across all 8x cores type workloads.

PURE Multi-threaded nature apps only.

 

/Render farms being 100% across all cores and such.....all day and night, pegged at 100%.

[Sintezza]

ahah i was joking what scenarios do you think its good in 

 

Virtualization for example.

And certain productivity tasks.

 

haha

[flibberdipper]

Very true. I hope the Athlon X4 860K I'm getting is worth the $70 or whatever it costs.

It's good, but other things do it better for cheaper. It is a worthless piece of tech to be 100% blunt.

Then get a Xeon. It's cheaper, it's faster, it uses less power, it runs cooler, etc. etc. etc.

A Xeon E3 1231v3 will do it better, because things like that are what they're made for; support ECC RAM, can be put on cheaper motherboards, and still perform worlds better in gaming. The 9XXX AMD processors are a joke for the price.

If you want an 8 module processor from AMD get an 8XXX series and overclock it. The 9XXX doesn't make sense.

8 module is the server CPU, 4 module is the 8XXX series.

[FLUFFYJELLO]

8 module is the server CPU, 4 module is the 8XXX series.

4 "core" 8 "module" (because they share the same floating point and cache) is the 8XXX and 9XXX series from AMD I thought. The Xeon is a 4core with Hyperthreading (virtual 8 core). Or am I mistaken?

I was explaining only that its uses are 100% type workloads and nothing much more,.. I wouldn't touch one with a 50ft pole myself, and would get a Xeon, but that wasn't the thing in question.

Ah, alright, I misinterpreted. My mistake.

[IateMApoo]

Its an old factory overcloked AMD CPU, dont expect wonders from it, its only good for production work if you cant afford i7.

Your mixing the terms up, the FX 8*** and 9*** series have 4 modules (originally a standard CPU core) which have the ALU split in 2 to give the semblance of more cores (and AMD used to say only buy the Phenom II X4 if you can use alll of the cores otherwise buy the tri and dual core CPU). Intel Xeons however are straight up 4 core CPU with 2 threads (they aren't virtual cores, Linus did a good video explaining hyperthreading).

PS. i am not a Intel Fanboy. 

my 9590 is kind of unstable sometime. i often downclock it to 4.6Ghz so i can maintain multidays of uptime.

i need a fresh OS install, but i'm waiting for win10.

 

it's a fine CPU, but it require attention and care, it has to be watercooled. period.

and it's performance is great, but i does bottle neck my gtx980s a slight bit i think. i'm hoping DX12 will be a game changer for 8core CPUs, but it's wishful thinking.
