Anyone have a FX-9590. just curious how you like it. I'm going to build a beast. I already have a FX-8350 Rig, so I don't need anyone to say "just get a FX-8350 and OC it"

Nobody, because they're pointless for the price.just get a FX-8350 and OC it

Also mine was £299 but now they are available for under £240... so not pointless...

They are 350 USD now at Newegg for just the CPU and 390 USD packaged with Liquid Cooling.

Why pay £100 more for something you can do in 5 minutes?

I'm aware they are cherry-picked 8350's, however it's definitely not worth the extra.

Maybe thats slightly inaccurate...

Good deal, but personally I would go with just the CPU with some custom water cooling... as my H100i was ok but loud under load...

If you want to do something do it...

Personally FX8350 - FX9590 is not a worthwhile upgrade, however if you like doing things that are not mainstream go for it!

FX9590 be a wolf and not a sheep....

If you have an older 8350 then yes,  but current 8350's are binned much lower and if they can hit 5.0GHz stable they will be 9590 and 4.7GHz stable they will be 9370's.

Too true.

its not true because they are now binned the chances of you getting a 8350 or 8320 that can do 5ghz is highly unlikely and if you doing then it will use more voltage than if you got the 9590.
