You should expect 45-60 C in IDLE and over 75 C in load, 9590 being a very hot (literally) processor; the big problem is the broken temp sensor on AMD platform, therefore you'll never have an accurate temp reading unless going for an aftermarket calibrated temp sensor (I have the same problem on my Opterons, as they try to convince me they are running under 50 C, while I cannot hold my hand on the cooler's heatpipes, backplates and retention systems).

Hello,

The 9xxx series CPUs are meant only for enthusiasts and AMD die-hard fans, therefore at over 200 W TDP you must use a very good air/liquid cooler (Noctua or Corsair H80/H100/H110). You can add more fans on your setup but I don't think it will shave more than a couple of degrees... Or you can underclock/undervolt the CPU and, when your budget allows, you will buy a powerful cooler. What motherboard are you using right now?

the fan speeds adjust themselves automatically based on temperature, it is quite possible that the temp reading program could be showing false numbers, double check in BIOS.

If not, then you may not have installed the cooler properly... unless it hasn't done that before and it started now... in which case the thermal paste might have dried out.

The FX-9590 is not even officially supported; you have very good chances to damage your motherboard and/or CPU!

EDIT: Also, the Hyper 212x can cool CPUs with TDP lower than 180W, so it is a no go anyway...

If your life depends on using that CPU, you can underclock and undervolt it, bringing it to the FX-8150/8350 levels (but that denies its premium price and its only purpose in life, namely being the only CPU which breaks the 5 GHz mark at default settings).

You'll probably need a watercooler or some higher end dual tower air-cooler like the cryorig R1 Universal/ultimate, Thermalright Silver Arrow IB-E, Noctua NH-D15 or 14., ....

Please don't wait the problems to arise; dial down the multiplier for max. 4.2 GHz default / 4.5 GHz turbo and also the voltage to max. 1.35 Volts.

Hold on a minute, this is confusing me.

http://rog.asus.com/261142013/crosshair-motherboards/asus-announces-full-support-for-amd-fx9590-and-fx9370-processors-with-existing-990fx-based-motherboards/

ROG asus says that the motherboard officially supports 9590. So, Maybe OP has to change air cooler into WATER COOLER like h100i.

As per my above post, it seems the board supports the processor. In the meantime, I recommend a high build quality liquid cooling system in your machine. This SEIDEON 120V is almost equal to 212 EVO air cooling (lol).

Yes, but the OP said is an Sabertooth 990FX, while the ROG said the support includes only Sabertooth 990FX V2.0.

You'd be better of with a good aircooler. If I recommend watercooling I'd look into the kracken X60

It is worse than your 212x; for that kind of TDP, you will need (if you want to go liquid) an 2x120 mm cooler, something like Corsair 100/110 or Seidon 240.

OP, you got 2.0

Do not worry about compatibility. All you have to do is afford corsair h100i or Noctua DH-15. They have higher build quality with greater efficiency which are mandate for gaming computer. If the Idle temp gets 62 C on your processor, then you must get down to work on buying any of the above mentioned products and install it right away. I know it is breaking your budget but being a penny-pincher in here, would definitely let you face lot of hardware problems down the line. I'm not trying to be mean but save you from severe future expenses on your PC.
