AMD FX 9590
Go to solution
Solved by typographie,
An FX-9590 needs a very beefy power delivery system on the motherboard. I'm not sure exactly what is required and where the cut-off is, but I know from this review that the ASRock 990FX Extreme9, with it's 12+2 power phases, can handle it for $190. Something lesser might do the trick, but it would involve guesswork on my part.
I think it's a little pointless to talk about what the client should want—it doesn't really matter what we think of the client's decisions. But for what it's worth, the increased price of a high-end AMD motherboard may make it easier to convince them to just get an i5 system instead.
