Maximus extreme vi compatible with vishera 9590 8 core

Laugie08 · Jan 23, 2014

Hi guys can someone please tell me if the vishera 9590 is compatible with the maxi extreme vi and if not Which of the two is better to swap out for high end compatible component.

New build all gen 4 parts have gone for high end virtualization. Running multiple workstations off the same system, video, gaming, 3d rendering, adobe, windows 8.1, etc

That's an LGA1150 socket board, only compatible with 4th gen Intel hardware. The 9590 is AMD and requires an AM3+ socket. 10 bucks more gets you an I7 4770k. I'd go that route.

Your motherboard choice will not work as Anub1s stated. For your video editing/rendering and virtualization you will see great benefits with the 9590. Below I have listed a motherboard that will suit your needs well, make sure you get a higher end water cooling system if you plan on going with an all in one option and have plenty of air coming in and out of your case!

Appreciate both feedback, if the FX 990 is compatible with the radeon 7990 card then I will go with that

Note my mistake the previously suggested motherboard appears to not be compatible with the CPU you are looking at. Below is a motherboard that will support the CPU

And a link to the compatible CPU list showing your CPU is compatible with the motherboard.

Sorry for the mix up!

I would recommend going with a i7-4770 or i7-4771, those will perform better with virtualization and heavy workload than a 9590.
These are perfectly for your needs and pretty much fits the budget.

killakallies · Jan 24, 2014

Absolutely not! Virtualization on a multi VM scale works much better on a higher physical core processor than a hyper threaded processor. Why do you think a majority of virtualization servers built to run ESXi use Opteron CPU's? AMD 8 core processors handle video editing/rendering tasks excellent the performance gains in virtualization with the AMD will make up for whatever unnoticeable gains you would get from the i7-4770.

killakallies :

No they work better with Intel extension.
Only thing a 9590 is better at is heavy integer instructions, which VM doesn't rely on to much.

And I work with servers everyday and it have been a year since I have seen an AMD processor on a server..

killakallies :

The main reason we use Opteron processors is because they are less expensive, not because they perform better. The fastest VM servers still are Intel based. You should read http://www.anandtech.com/show/7285/intel-xeon-e5-2600-v2-12-core-ivy-bridge-ep

If the OP can afford a 4770, than he probably should go for it as it performs as well as the FX-9590 while requiring significantly less power. For a system that runs VMs 24x7, power requirements should probably be taken into consideration.

That didn't explain much.
The fx 9590 beats the 4770 at 2 things.
Heavy integer instructions and clockspeed.
Both doesn't have the greater impact on VM's.
The TSX from intel http://www.anandtech.com/show/6290/making-sense-of-intel-haswell-transactional-synchronization-extensions/4
this make one right here is putting intel ahead, and the factor they handle multiple instructions much much better than AMD.

killakallies · Jan 24, 2014

Well then that rules out the 4770k as it does not feature the TSX instruction set.

I also suggested the 4770 and 4771.

GhislainG · Jan 24, 2014

killakallies :

The question was about a Quad core vs an 8 core; selecting the FX made sense. Selecting a 9590 over a 4770 is not as obvious because a 84W TDP vs 220W definitely should be taken into account for a server (they will obviously rarely run at 100% load). Overall performance and cost are close enough. I have no regrets selecting a 3770 for my server as it runs cool enough and a video card,is not required.

bouncedk :

The OP specified "maxi extreme vi"; that motherboard is socket 1150 and it definitely doesn't support AMD processors. You probably had the SABERTOOTH 990FX/GEN3 R2.0 on your mind as it supports all AM3+ processors.

killakallies · Jan 24, 2014

Oddly enough... if you read the top the question is actually not about a server! How about we let the op make a comment before we argue more about apples and oranges.

Laugie08 · Jan 25, 2014

Hi guys, thanks for your comments, firstly I got caught up in hyperlink dialogue... Never read anything remotely close to whats on the links, only scifi series, a lot confused and near the end less confused so clarity...? My build:
Motherboard: ME VI
CPU: 9590 w/liquid cooling
GRaphics: 7990
Ram: GeIL 2x4gb 3000mhz (can upgrade later if needed)
Power: Corsair 1200w
Case: NZXT 820
Optical: Pioneer BDR-208EBK
SSHD: Seagate 4TB SSHD Hybrid
Operating: Windows 8.1
Programs: MS 365 & (will go with Adobe Cloud)

Haven't put much thought into a sound card. I went with ME vi for 3d, gaming, virtualization, wifi, bluetooth, and all the extras. 9590 as it is 8 core 5 ghz virtualization, 3d, etc. Somewhere I thought I read that someone ran the two together and for the life of me I can not find it again (or maybe I was wishing they were compatible). So, they are here and the 9590 seems too big for the motherboard. I am nervous about putting pressure down on it to see if it fits and it is all wrong. Looking at your comments I know one of the parts needs changing out its more of what is out there that can give the same type of features as these parts that will work best. I like what both have to offer. Again thanks for your guys help

See Link:

Note the compatible CPU's. That board is an Intel board my friend! I would return it and go with the motherboard I have linked below as it will work with your CPU.

Also note the 9590 will only support DDR3-1866 RAM so I would also return the RAM and pick up the RAM listed in the link below. If you use that RAM you have you will have to run it underpowered which degrades the life of the RAM greatly.
