Will this cool the AMD FX-9590?

DerpityDerp · Jan 6, 2015

I was looking to buy a AMD FX-9590, but as I was looking through the internet and researching about it, I've seen a lot of people complaining about the heat. I can't quite afford liquid cooling because I'm on a budget. But I was wondering if this CPU cooler can do the job. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835709001

Please tell me which one of these will do the job.

If it cools as well as the Noctua D14/15s it should be enough to run the FX 9590 for normal uses but even the D14 fails to cool the 9590 under 70C when stress testing. For normal uses it may keep it under 62C which I believe it's the max temp for the core.

It should cool it just fine, yes. As well as the noctua for a better price given the sale.

doesn't a FX-9590 come with stock closed looped liquid cooler? that is what they say in amd.

Sig2525 :

Your partially right. The FX 9590 originally was sold with an closed loop water cooler as the stock cooling. Back then it also originally costed in the $1000. Now most sites sell the FX 9590 and FX 9370 without any cooling so that users can buy their own. That's also one reason why they probably don't cost so much as they don't come with a stock cooler now.

oh well just get a cooler that will closely match the performance of a closed looped liquid cooling as i think the the 9590 really requires it. 4.7ghz is no joke hahaha and i bet you will overclock this to 5ghz or more.

between the neptwin and the phantec, i would go with the phantec but i think if you are to overclock you would need a little more than that.

It's a good idea to assume that any AM3+ build may require some custom performance tuning to iron out thermal challenges, especially when building with the 9000 series. The Phanteks would be my choice, and it should work fine, but your specific 9590 could be a gem that runs on that cooler without problems, or could be a turd that needs custom tuning to tame.

There are only a few motherboards with official support for the 9000 series. Failing to pair these chips with a suitable motherboard will guarantee a bad outcome requiring significant custom tuning (under-clocking/volting) to achieve functional status.
