good idea to disbale 2 cores on fx 9590

[Bajantechnician]

i dissabled cores 7 ad 8, in hopes to get less heat, i dont care much about performance as of right now. when i het a aio, i will probably turn them bac on.

 

is turning them off a good idea?

Turning them off makes it basically a FX-6350 that's overclocked. Just downclock it to 4gHz or less if you want less heat.

[Jacktastic-Mofo]

Probably not, that CPU doesn't perform well enough as it is.

But he might as well have just bought an FX8350 then.

Perhaps try it with 2,4,6 and 8 disabled-you should see lower temps and greater single threaded performance (hopefully better than a Phenom II if it could reach the same clock speed).

Obviously that's true, but I'm not sure if you have followed why does he want to disable those cores, he's got some serious issues with this CPU and he can't seem to find a fix, goddamn it, as much as it pains me to say this, the person behind the idea of releasing FX-9000 series was mentally challenged so that's why I recommended downclocking the CPU to 8320/8350 levels for system stability

i tried. Pic kept crashing and I got tired of clearing cmos. Seems ok without 2 cores, easier for me to handle if something goes wrong

speed? Voltage?

[Andrew Storlie]

Best way to lower your heat is to get an intel i5

You know, that's not normal to me. Either your board is faulty or it's the CPU that's faulty. I've got an FX-8350 that's overclocked to 4,5gHz with 1.36V voltage on a cheap-ass board and got completely no issues, or maybe it's the power supply that doesn't deliver constant voltage or just has voltage drops...

 

 

speed? Voltage?

FX-8350 has 4,0 gHz stock speed and 1.35-36 V voltage, FX-8320 has 3,5gHz stock speed with around the same voltage

i probably just don't know how to drop speed and voltage accordingly

no cash, unless you want to buy something from me from classifieds. I have like 7 postings

nothing should be faulty. All parts are good quality, evga 1050 watt psu Asus crosshair v formula -z mobo

If the issue was heat, it's because he's not adequately cooling the CPU. This thing is just a massively OC'd out of the box lower series chip.

They're really quite awful.

IIRC an AIO was a requirement for this CPU.

I mean parts can be expensive and they still can be faulty, it's just luck of the draw... I would try another PSU/board if I ran out of ideas.

I'm not sure how UEFI looks like on the Crosshair Formula board, but I recommend you reset the BIOS completely, leave the voltage as it is and just reduce clock speed of the CPU to 4.0 gHz (don't touch ANYTHING else but the clock speed), that should be 1000000% stable (provided you have a decent cooler). Then you should check if it's stable and start reducing voltage until it's unstable, then leave it at last known good configuration and let it be until you get a good AIO

well fir starters... red/white led strips... 70 bucks thats WAY too much to offer, you can get 5 meters from amazon for 20 bucks, any color you want. Even rgb... and 1450 for a titan z... sorry but good luck. Maybe 1000. It was never a good card unless you just need the cuda cores. Remember you can get a titan black for about 400 bucks. So 2 of them are only 800

That is good parts ok try to disable the two last cores if still bad disable two more if that fails it won't help... Then you need a better strategy! Lowering voltage could work but do not overdo it, also in BIOS you can probably reduce clock but if so re-enable the disabled cores.

tessalation and such

 

and $7 is a joke.

 

its 69.69

 

its sixty nine.

You could sell the chip and board, and use that money + the aio money to go i5  (the dark rock will obviously be more than fine for the i5)

 

I think you'd make it on money especially because it's a formula board

[Morgan MLGman]

Then change it from auto to 1.4 V and change the clock speed to 3.5 gHz, that should eliminate all issues that you can have provided nothing is faulty.

literally got board last week.

 

buy board=$219

sell one month old board=180

 

conclusion=no

 

lol, im just trying to sell stuff in classifieds, buy a new chip and board, and then sell the current config i have.

who knows, maybe ill still be able to return the formula v

 

also im very pricky about processors, as i did not have a "solid" past for intel chips.

thats why i either MUST HAVE 6 cores at least 3.5ghz (i5, i7) or has to be a 4.0+ ghz Quad core .

 

I dunno, i just seem to have more sucess with amd chips than intel

 

 

Then change it from auto to 1.4 V and change the clock speed to 3.5 gHz, that should eliminate all issues that you can have provided nothing is faulty.

will doo.

and will check up on you tomorrow, its 11 pm

 

Thanks

if normal is 3.5, what should turbo be? 4.5?

starts thermal throttling at 4.7

[Morgan MLGman]

 FX-8320 has 3,5ghz normal speed with turbo boost to 4.0, disable turbo boost for more stability and just try 3,5ghz with 1,4V, it should be 100% working as even an 8320 (which should be a significantly worse overclocker) has lower "default" voltage for that speed.
