Won a FX-9590 from AMD, What Cooler do you Recommend??

patrick47018 · Jul 28, 2014

I know that the FX-9590 will run HOT, my case is the AzzA Solano 1000R. I was wondering what cooler you all recommend? I was thinking of the Corsair H100i but I know it will be a little tight in my case. Thanks for your input guys.

You need at least a h100i and 1000w power supply.

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.

Cool, how did you win it?

I looked at newegg reviews and one person said that his h100 didn't fully fit and because of this the fans woulod constantly run full throttle, so it will only fit 140mm rads it looks like. I recommend the H90 as it's a 140mm instead of 120mm.

You could also undervolt the cpu if need be to prevent high temps.

However, I'd get an entirely new case like the corsair 450D so you can put a 240mm H105 from corsair in.

Clearance between my big ROG motherboard cpu power cables and the rads is a little close. Other boards may not work.

Thanks SR-71, and Techy I won it from a contest on Twitter. So we're thinking about something like this then: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/CdggFT

And for a case how is this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?gclid=Cj0KEQjw6deeBRCswoauquC8haUBEiQAdq5zh8eDQZwv04VDZM4nWq7rTwLYTCUnf0LWDz5_aB-X288aAhYB8P8HAQ&Item=N82E16811147176&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-_-pla-_-Computer+Cases-_-N82E16811147176&ef_id=UxQEJwAAAIh1yB-j:20140728153056:s

SR-71 I wonder how he mounted it there, drilled holes?

Do you think my case will be sufficient?

Dark Lord of Tech · Jul 28, 2014

From what i've read it will fit , you just take out the top 230mm fan.

The Corsair 450D is very nice, that is probably where I am upgrading to next, excellent dust management.
The Corsair 300R is also very nice, I have used 3 of them so far with varying rigs and all turned out very nice and spacious. Though all my rigs have been air coolers. It does have room for a 240 or 280 Rad on top, if you go with the 280 rad you will not be able to put anything in the top 5.25 Bay.

I am also looking at getting the FX9590 and have been considering cooling solutions here. This is the system 4Ryan6 recommended to me: http://www.frozencpu.com/products/23377/ex-wat-298/XSPC_Raystorm_RX240_V3_Extreme_Universal_CPU_Water_Cooling_Kit_w_D5_Photon_and_Free_Dead-Water.html#blank
