So i went and bought the aswome fx 9590 from AMD and when i went to task manager it only shows it running at 4 ghz. my Mobo is a GA 990fxa ud5 so i dont think that is the problem. I reset all the settings back to default in the bios but that didnt seem to change anything.
My 9590 fx is only running at 4 ghz stock. Why?
- Thread starter bswg
- Start date

thanks for the correct link
If you look at the end of that supprt list it says you must have at least bios revision FCb .
If you do not have at least that revision then you are not yet supported

I would not use the task manager to check cpu speeds.
CPU-Z is a better option, but the computer HAS to be working to get to full speed. If it is not working hard enough it will run a different clock speed to save power and generate less heat.

Also make sure the board in fact fully supports that cpu. It needs to have a pretty beefed up VRM(Voltage Regulation Module) system.

that CPU is not officially supported but that chipset is.
you can verify here:
http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3891#
you can run the heaven benchmark to max your CPU, it does with my i5 2500k

the CPU support list goes to the fx 8350
if you scroll down on that link you will see "CPU Support List" in orange letters
http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3891#
if your bios is not up to date then that CPU was not supported when the board came out.
maybe temps are throttling your CPU.
have you tried any of the test or used cpu-z to verify.

updating your bios is something you would have to do before getting a replacem,ent anyways so I would definitely do that.
read through these manufacturers guides before doing this:

you just have to read this at least three times then go through with it.
http://www.gigabyte.com/webpage/20/images/utiltiy_qflash_uefi.pdf
are you running the uefi bios (you almost have to be) , if so you should be fine.

Be very cautious but you should have a @BIOS utility that came with the motherboard drivers. It will automatically apply a BIOS update for you while in Windows and restart etc. Others hate this way of doing it but I haven't had a problem at all (knock on wood).
If not you can do it the more technical way by downloading the bios from Gigabyte and putting it into a flash drive. Then doing a Q-flash from the BIOS itself with the loaded USB stick.

That's bad news. Did you pick the right bios for the right motherboard?
Gigabyte boards have dual BIOS chips. You should be able to flash it back to the default.

If you are entering the bios, It should not have been a bad flash. Can you check the boot settings to see if it is not set to boot your OS.

ctrl+alt+del
Or just hit the reset button
Go into the BIOS and change the boot device; and remove any USB drives or CD's from the tray.
