Yes it is REV. 4.0 and running with FX 8350 overclocked at 4.8 GHZ 8 Gig DDR3 1866 RAM with CM hyper T4 cooler. I ask this because I am planning to put FX 9590 this summer on the same motherboard. Now this a 220 Watt CPU, my current PSU is corsair CX 750 M 750 watts, I think this PSU would be enough to power everything. And of course I will have to buy closed loop water cooler for this CPU.

Then you can use FX-9590 with your motherboard :) But it's not worth the money since FX-9590 is just OC'd FX-8350.
CX-750 should be more than enough for your system even with power hungry GPU :D

Getting 9590 for OC'ing is not good idea since you can get i7-4770k and good Z87 motherboard for OC, and you can OC 4770k to 4.6~4.8GHz which would be a lot faster than any AMD desktop CPU.

That wouldn't be a good idea either because it will cost me a lot more money for that option to change hardware(MB, CPU etc...) I read some forums that they overclock FX 9590 up to 5.6 GHZ or even 6 GHZ with a good water cooling solution. I am an Intel fan before, but when I tried building AMD platform with a lot less money to spend on hardwares, I can compare there's no much difference in performance but a big difference in budget. I will try my luck if I could overclock FX 9590 5.0 GHZ and beyond.

Upgrading from a 8350 to a 9590 is pointless unless you simply are an overclock junkie an get a thrill out of seeing how fast you can get a CPU to go. No, I don't mean that in a negative insulting way. I'm just referring to the same principle as people who put cars down a drag strip. They don't use those cars for everyday commute. So for the everyday commute the 8350 & 9590 are so close to the same that you wouldn't notice a difference really.

But hey if you got the money, time, an interest in it than go for it. I find it interesting myself just don't have the cash to burn.

Your choices for the 9590:

ASRock 990FX Extreme9
Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z
Asus M5A99FX PRO R2.0
Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0
Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3
Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD5
Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD7
MSI 990FXA-GD80V2

AMD.COM

Warning: This power draw of this CPU is almost twice that of the average CPU. Due to this, AMD recommends using at minimum a 1000W power supply. For cooling, AMD recommends using either either closed loop liquid cooling or full system liquid cooling.

1000 watts PSU is overkill, FX 9590 is only 220 watts, I got a Corsair CX750M PSU 750 watts, if this CPU uses 220 watts therefore it still have remaining 530 watts to power the fans, HDD, GPU and some LED lights inside the PC case. CPU uses the given TDP only during turbo mode when the CPU is 100% under load.

"Remember Moore's Law" Imagine 5 years or 10 years from now. At present, AMD FX 9590 running 4.7 GHZ stock clock speed 5.0 GHZ in peak turbo mode without overclocking. Can you imagine after 10 years where Intel and AMD are manufacturing CPU with a stock clock speed of 10 GHZ, 15 GHZ or even 20 GHZ CPU's. Can you still state the fact that the future CPU's will be the same performance as the present CPU's? And you wouldn't notice the difference? Really? Whether we like it or not we are going to that era. The era of super computers.

Yeah the difference between 1ghz to 2ghz sure.... but there are people out there that have overclocked the 8350 to 5.0ghz so.... how is it that you will notice the difference between the two? Maybe you will maybe you won't but the point I was trying to make was it's not significant enough to choose between the two unless you got to swing the biggest stick in the group to show off.

Another Intel fanboy!!!
That RIG I built last year, I gave it to my son. What I am speaking right now is my own RIG. BTW "DOWNGRADE"? REALLY? LOL??? Why are you Intel fanboys are so mad, angry about FX 9590? It's none of your business if I want to upgrade to FX 9590.

Our minds are clear (or maybe we're a bit fanboys :D), But really it's a downgrade because that 9590 had 1000$ price and nobody bought it, after they put 320$ and people started to buy that CPU but it's complete waster of money when you can buy i7-4770k for the same price or even for 250$ at "Microcenter"!!!

Future proof? You do realize the turbo speed is 5 GHz. That is only four cores of an eight core cpu. The difference in speed between a 8350 at stock and a 9590 isn't even perceptible unless you have a stopwatch handy. Now take into account how easy it is to overclock an 8350 to near 9590 speeds. By all accounts the 9590 and the 9370 are terrible overclockers. That is because they are just factory overclocked 8350's. they have zero headroom. Also the few hundred MHz a 9590 has over an 8350 is hardly future proofing. A 4.7 GHz processor will be obsoleted just as soon as a 4.0 GHz of the same exact architecture. Your board will probably throttle the 9590. The Asus Sabertooth has beefier northbridge and mosfet heatsinks and a much stouter phase power delivery system.

Give me some links or data to support your statement, IF NOT YOU ARE JUST one of those DIEHARD INTEL FANBOYS WHO ARE SO ANGRY AND MAD ABOUT AMD FX 9590!!!!!!!...... LOL!!!!!?????

Okay, I am typing this on a A10-5800K, my main rig is an 8350, I also have a 6300, 1055T, a 1605T, a 960T, a 965 BE, several Athlons and Semprons. I own no Intel processors. I am just telling you what you could find out very, very easy if you actually looked beyond your nose. People who own 9590's tend to get really stout boards. The best is the Sabertooth or Crosshair. I also own a GA-990FXA-UD3. It is a good solid board if it is a revison 1 or revision 4. That being said it is marginal at best for a 9590. And all you have to do is Google a search about what poor overclocks people get with 9590. It is already at its thermal max from the factory. You are the one who got mad and lashed out like a spoiled child. I just tried to help you.

I own two FX 8320 rigs, so I am far from being an Intel Fanboy. The FX 9590 is a horrible CPU, period. Buying anything above an FX 8320, from AMD, is a waste of money. For about the same cost, of just the CPU, you could have an FX 8320, 990fx-ud3, and a Thermalright TS-140. Average overclock of the FX 8320 is around 4.6-4.7ghz.

Even a Xeon 1230v3 and B85 pro4 is a better buy than an FX 9590. FX 9590 is a downgrade from a 4.7ghz 4670k.

I always enjoy when someone asks a question and then insults every person that advises that it's not a good idea.

Going from an 8350 to a 9590 is not a significant upgrade and doesn't really provide any additional future-proofing - when the day comes sometime in the future that an 8350 becomes too slow to be adequate to perform tasks, the 9590 would stand only slightly less so. Overclocking is useful, but it's not magical. Given that you already have an 8350, the marginal cost of an upgrade to a 9590 is massive.

I bought FX 8350 last month for only $179.99 in Micro Center, Now I am Planning to buy FX 9590 this summer, Intel fanboys in this forum are furious about FX 9590 lashing out my idea, saying it is a downgrade instead of an upgrade, poor overclockers etc.. FX 9590 is only $259.99 in Micro Center, its on sale. These Intel fanboys cannot even give any concrete data as a proof of what they are stating in this forum.

Actually, the original thread is that: Compatible motherboards for FX 9590. I just want to make sure that my MB which is Gigabyte GA 990 FXA-UD3 Rev 4.0 is compatible with FX 9590. That's all.

PS 4 console use AMD CPU, XBOX ONE use AMD CPU. In my opinion these two big company used AMD chip because 1) Lesser cost. 2.) AMD chips are more reliable for console gaming.

To tell you the truth I am an Intel fanboy before but, when I built an AMD platform using FX 4130, Gigabyte GA 78LMT-USB3 MB with a decent GPU which is ASUS GTX 650 Ti 2GB GDDR5, 8 GB DDR3 RAM 1600 GHZ, which I spend half the price of the RIG that I built for my son which is I5 4670K CPU, ASUS Z87 PRO, MSI GTX 660 2GB GDDR5 twin Frozr GPU, 16 GB DDR3 RAM 1600MHZ.
I notice that there was no higher evident game performance of the Intel platform compared to AMD platform while playing BF3, BF4 and CRISYS 3. BTW they are both overclocked at 4.8 GHZ clock speed. Now, I don't hate Intel because of that, I just can't stand their higher CPU price.

This coming summer If I got the FX 9590, I will replace the FX 4130 with the FX 8350 because they got the same AM3+ socket.
