I was reading the monthly Best CPUs for the Money article and noted that the FX-9590 showed up on the CPUs list but I didn't remember seeing that Tom's ever did a review of the CPU. I don't think I missed them doing a review. If they didn't do a review, I truly think they should as the FX-9590 is easily the most interesting CPU out of AMD for enthusiasts since the Piledriver/Vishera line launched earlier this year.

It isn't worth the price AMD is asking for it. You are better off getting an FX 8320/8350 and clocking it yourself.

Nah, you can cool 220 watts on air pretty easily nowdays. Tom's did a piece on a 4 GHz Pentium D 805 that drew 310 watts. People also had Nehalems (Bloomfields) that drew 250+ watts without much trouble too.



I was just wondering if they did an article about it...I suppose I am correct and they did not. I also wouldn't pay $800-and-change for the FX-9590 but you know that reviewers don't generally pay for gear, it's loaned to them.
