Lol, if I was worried about power consumption I wouldn't be using my QX6850/Xeon X5450 (it depends on whether or not the ambient temperature is low enough-they run between 50 to 140W). And over 220W for performance that is lower than a CPU which consumes less than 90W.

 

Power consumption+performance+heat output+the cooler required+the expensive high end motherboard are all reasons as to why an FX 9590 is always a bad idea.

 

Nothing gets in the way of a fanboy, not even logic and reason. Proof is pretty much anyone running a FX chip as their daily driver and opted for it over a similarly priced Intel chip. 

 

I like AMD, I loved their Athlon 64 chips way back when but they really let the ball slip in recent years.
