No it can't.


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 R4.0
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.

If you haven't bought this chip yet, go with the 8350. The only difference other than power consumption is that its essentially an absurdly overclocked version of the 8350. And if AMD is saying you need a loop to cool it as well as a minimum of a 1000W PSU then it might not be worth it.

and what about the fx 8370?

The only real difference in between the 8370 and the 8350 is price. Other than that they only boosted the turbo clock in the 8370 from 4.2 to 4.3Ghz. So, your paying an extra ~$20.00 USD for .1Ghz in stock turbo speed. The OC'ing is not going to be much different if any in between the 8350 and the 8370. So, you might as well just go with the 8350 and save ~$20.00.

I don't know how well the 8370E will OC, but if it can do a decent job then maybe that's the answer. It typically runs about 95W vs. the 125W of the 8350 and 8370. All of which are way better than the 225W of the 9590.

Who said Custom Liquid Cooling is a lot of money?

No one has said that on here. The only thing mentioned about liquid cooling on this thread was that it is mandatory to have a loop if he decided to go with the FX-9590 CPU. I personally recommend liquid cooling regardless of which CPU he chooses out of the 8xxx-9xxx series because they do produce so much heat. Whether that be an AIO CPU cooler or a full custom loop doesn't really matter. Although the custom loop will be better for maintenance and longevity. However, a custom loop will be more expensive than an AIO closed loop cooler. I have a Corsair h80i cooling off my 8350 in my first build. Its OC'd to 4.6Ghz with slight BUS OC as well. Works perfectly fine and cool. I saved the custom loop for my 4790K build.

i still dont know what to buy, how much does a fx 8350 overclock to 5ghz consume?

Its still going to use the same amount of power as the 9590. BUT, you might not get above 4.7Ghz depending on the manufacturing of the chip itself. Not to mention there is not really a benefit to OC'ing to 5.0Ghz on any AMD processor. If you wanted to get great performance and still be able to OC near or at 5.0Ghz then Intel is the way to go. I have a 4790K that will out perform all AMD processors at stock and it's OC'd to 4.7Ghz.

ok i see i will search some benchmarks
but first i already have the board
Second i dont see any reason why to go to intel because i dont want to have 4 cores and i know intel have ht but i wont pay 340 dollars for a quad core chip
Third if i do go with intel it will be on the x99 platform with a i7 5820k 6 cores 12 thread but right now ddr4 is overprice and x99 boards are too
and four i didnt ask for a intel amd war i just dont care

Gaming and editing I'd go Intel, but the 8350/8370 will be a good choice also :)  and the Killer would be a good mobo for either, be sure to get a good cooler (212 EVO is very good and very reasonable ($35 or so)....

I received a killer chip I made 5ghz. easy.

Luck of the draw.

First: Like SR-71 said, its luck of the draw. And if you wanted to go with the X99 set later then you definitely don't need to be cheap and shoot yourself in the foot with a 5820K. Might as well go with the 5930K, 6 cores with more lanes and higher clock speed for only like $30.00 more.

Second: This wasn't an AMD and Intel battle. I was informing you that just getting a chip and expecting it to OC to 5.0Ghz is ridiculous. My other attempt was to inform you that Intel has been better with their chips (not saying AMD is bad, as I have an 8350 build and a 4790K build).

Third: How about you just get an 8350, OC it and if it doesn't get to 5.0Ghz then so be it. But, since you haven't done your homework don't get pissed off if people try to help you out by recommending other possible ways to do what you are looking for.

Fourth: 5.0Ghz is able to be obtained, but the only chip for normal consumers that actually reaches 5.0Ghz with little to no effort and is not LN2 cooled is the 9590. All other chips that have reached 5.0Ghz are really good chips, which comes back to luck of the draw. And there is no guarantee you will be able to OC to 5.0Ghz on just any 8350. From what I've read and experienced in my OC'ing is that the general cap is 4.6-4.8Gh with a water loop to cool it.

if you look at the thread i already make my choice i choose the fx 8350 and i will try to overclock it, i dont see any reason why to go with a i7 5930k is 200 dollars more and i dont need the extra lanes i dont even do crossfire or sli and if i do i will just do 2 way sli or just crossfire with another gpu, but im tired of people always saying go for a "intel cpu" i know intel is better buy i just dont want to go to intel right now, maybe when they have a better offer like a 6 cores 300 dollar cpu for the mainstream users or ddr4 to get cheaper and maybe the x99 board to get in the 150 dollars range, i was just curious for the fx 9590 because of the huge price drop they have right now you can buy it for 235 dollars on superbiiz and i wanted a better cpu than the fx 8320 i had and i didnt want to overclock but right know i just wanted some opinion and thats it.
