Is my motherboard compatible with FX9590

[Chimras]

So i have the new Asus 970 Pro Gaming Aura Motherboard, and i wonder if the FX 9590 is compatible with the motherboard. Thanks

Nope.

Why the heck not? It's an AM3+ socket and the FX9590 is AM3+ right?

I heard something about 220 w, and most of the processors is about 125 w. WAnted only to make sure if its not or if it works

Add the 9590 and you get a list of compatible motherboards.

Why not?

Because the board will just burn cause of the power draw of the chip

It should be: https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/970-PRO-GAMING-AURA/HelpDesk_CPU/

because the 9590 will set fire to any motherboard that isnt built to power the world.

the support page said it should. https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/970-PRO-GAMING-AURA/HelpDesk_CPU/

 

which i linked before but I want to mention you'd need a very good psu and cooling to run it.

It should be but because the 9590 takes alot of power you may want to get a 990fx series mobo

[harrynowl]

According to ASUS- it is. https://www.asus.com/uk/Motherboards/970-PRO-GAMING-AURA/HelpDesk_CPU/

 

Perhaps people in this thread could check in future before replying. There's more to power delivery than raw phase count.

 

However. The 9590 isn't a great purchase anyway. Unless you won it or it's on some kind of mega offer.

The Broadwell CPUs only work on H97 and Z97 mobos, despite H81 / B85 and Z87 all being LGA 1150 as well. For the LGA 775 era, there were plenty of revisions, and it's easy to find mobos which don't support Core 2 Quad, despite all of them being the same socket. So this argument is invalid.

 

Check out this video. Socket is the same. See what happens....

Would only recommend using a 990fx board for a 9590.

What I would recommend over that is to just NOT buy a 9590.

The problem I have in this situation though is that the FX9590 was launched years before the Asus 970 Pro Gaming Aura, so for Asus to release this motherboard years later without compatibility for the top CPU of the same socket just doesn't make sense to me.

You three; look at these two posts:

The things I described also don't make any sense to me either, but that's how it goes....

Well, the poster of that video should've read the CPU's instructions, or just looked at the box and all the warnings that say "LIQUID COOLING ONLY"

No. That video was made on a board with horrible VRM's

Not all are that bad. You only looked at the 1% of boards.

I know that. I just wanted to explain TidaL why he can't go with the assumption "if it's same socket = compatible".

Beefy air coolers also work. Not to mention, it would simply overheat and turn off if the temps were too high. That cooler was sufficient to keep the CPU from overheating, hence why it stayed on.

Defend your red, you pleb. /s

 

You're missing the point of the post. The point of it is showing what happens should you not make an informed choice, granted what is shown is worst case. Most boards can't handle a 9590, or even an 8350 with an alright overclock. If you don't get a good mobo, then I grant you luck in dealing with your VRM overheating issues.

1. I haven't had an AMD CPU since the Athlon 64 or an AMD GPU ever, because the last non Nvidia I had was when ATI was around.

2. Just to snark at your pleb. /s comment I went ahead and looked at your listed build. To speak of lower class, my PC is much higher class than yours.

 

Anyone can advise against using the two together and I wouldn't recommend it myself without completely researching it beforehand, but are the two compatible(which is the point of the entire thread)?  Absolutely.

Your definition of compatible means that the specs line up, yes? Thusly, an MSI 970 Krait is compatible with the 9590. Therefore your definition of compatible apparently doesn't include NOT lighting things on fire in the process.

 

1. I don't care, it was a joke, I didn't even check anyone's specs before I typed that, much less after. It was just meant to be a joke about how shit like this spirals into a flame war. Hence the /s.

 

2. Congratulations, I'm very proud of you, you have a nice build. *claps*

1. Absolutwly spot on, chappie. OP go research the VRMs.

 

2. The single stupidest thing I've seen you post. You don't know about the VRMs on the mobo (as stated in 1) therefore, you cannot say that they are compatible, what if the VRMs are EVEM WORSE than the 970 Krait? Pretty sure a fire doesn't qualify as compatibility.
