FX 9590/8350 @ 4.7/5GHz- NH-U14S good enough, or NH-D14/NH-D15?

[Kyzer]

Can't watercool because case doesn't support anything bigger than a 120. (atleast with fans inside the case, or a motherboard with vrm heatsinks)

 

So would a nh-u14s be good enough (70c is fine) or would a nh-d15/14 be necessary?

 

plus, no watercooling because its more expensive, more likely to fail (more moving parts) and liquid. (i had a watercooler before..)

[The Official Czex]

Not for a 9590.

you need at least the NH-D15

NH-d14/15 will help you but you might need to consider cooling the VRM with additional fans. Please only use an ASUS Sabretooth or ROG board with those chips.

The case will have the air cooler blowing air over the VRM heatsink, plus two exhausts near there, essentially pulling hot air away from the VRM's

 

My boards bigger brother (990FX Gaming) is basically the same, the heatsinks on the VRM are all the same except all the chipset heatsinks are connected with the heatpipe and the northbridge heatsink is slightly larger. MSI officially supports 9590 on that, but the board appears basically the same other than the heatsinks...

Gigabyte UD5 or Asrock Extreme 9 would work as well.

AM3+ boards have a max wattage rating for a reason.

 

In fact PC part picker will flag a incompatibility if the selected motherboard wont be able to handle the heat.

 

Here is a full list.

Asus M5A99FX PRO R2.0

Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z

Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0

ASRock 970 Performance

ASRock Fatal1ty 970 Performance

ASRock Fatal1ty 990FX Professional

ASRock 990FX Extreme9

ASRock 990FX Extreme6

Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3

Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 R5

Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD5

Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD5 R5

Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD7

MSI 990FXA-GD80V2

MSI 990FXA-GAMING

Stay away from asrock unless you want thermal throttling hell and the UD5 will need severe cooling as the heatsink for the VRM isn't brilliant having had one die...

It's up to you at the end of the day, can't say I didn't warn you.

Sam, I'm only going to say this once, the sabretooth can handle a heavily overclocked 8350 and many of the guys in the FX club running 9590's will tell you to not bother getting the other boards and stick to the 2 asus boards for less hassle.

 

If that list contains all the compatible ones for the 9590 then you best ring my mate up with a UD3 and a 9590 because he'll tell you he's had to underclock and undervolt it due to throttling and loads of other issues...

Why are you addressing me instead of the OP, I'm not stupid enough to buy a 4 year old CPU.

Because you're weighing in on it are you not? You're advising the OP to put a chip into a motherboard which is going to cause issues. If you have an issue with the purchase, leave.

Personally I believe OP is planing to buy a 9590 and CPU cooler and drop it onto his current motherboard (MSI 970 Gaming Motherboard) and light his rig on fire.

I believe so too, that's why I advised against it instead of suggesting more issues...

Manufactures have RnD and quality control for a reason, they test their products before claiming they can handle a 9590, they don't just throw darts at there AM3+ product stack and make claims based on that.

Sam, ask these guys, people who have owned 9590s and overclocked them... what board to use and see what they tell you.

I'd rather believe them over you and your misinformed opinions on the FX range.

[Sam Z Man]

There is a difference between people putting a FX-9590 in a motherboard then not touching the bios and 

people who have owned 9590s and overclocked them... 

 

Manufactures make sure their boards can handle a stock 9590 for there expected lifespan of the product, if it fails to conform to that claim they will likely gladly fix the problem through a RMA the majority of the time, unless user error is involved, and OP is planing on running stock speeds so therefore his warranty will in no way be changed, and any of those boards will work.

And I'm telling you that a stock liquid cooled 9590 will be throttled in a UD3 but you won't listen, I know from first hand experience, you don't. OP would be better off grabbing a sabretooth and using that with the 9590. Continue on your misinformed rant more if you like believing all the R&D and marketing crap you like. I can't remember which one but they said their boards could handle the 9590 then removed it from their site and packaging because it simply couldn't and people kept returning the boards.

[arnavvr]

There is only one board I would trust a 9590 with, the Crosshair V Formula

[Benji_w]

 

 

Absolutely not, especially not AsRock. The Sabertooth is the only other board I would recommend. It can handle the 9590 without a problem. But for that processor I would prefer the Crosshair V Formula Z. It runs cooler and is built to handle the likes of the 9590.

Honestly their are only 2 990 boards out there that are any good and these are the ones. I have had or have used just about all of them and out of all of them these are the top picks.
