Hello I am having problems with this CPU overheating and I am not sure if this fan would do any better. I do not know what "specs" to go by when shopping for CPU fans or fans of any types. My computer which I built about 3 months ago has not been able to run because of this problem and it's really trying my patience. I just found out why and it's CPU overheating. I'm thinking about replacing my current fan: Cooler Master Hyper TX3 54.8 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler with this fan: Noctua NH-D14 65.0 CFM CPU Cooler. But I noticed that my fan has 2800RPM max and the Noctua only has 1200RPM max, but does this matter or not? I already put about $3000.00 into this machine and it's still not running. I NEED HELP PLEASE!

I think in your case, where you've been through so much that I'd just get an 8320 or an 8350 and just let it run at stock. No mucking around with the 9590 or anything, just a CPU you can plug in and not worry about it - you must be at your wit's end after all this!

Warning: This power draw of this CPU is almost twice that of the average CPU. Due to this, AMD recommends using at minimum a 850W to 1000W power supply. For cooling, AMD recommends using either either closed loop liquid cooling , h100i minimum or full system liquid cooling.

I know I've been told to buy a water cooler myself, but that would require me to buy a whole new case. I currently have a mid sized case and if I go for a water cooler I would need to upgrade to a full sized case. Which would cost me about $300.00 or more. However my friend who helped me build this list also used this CPU in two other computer builds and he only uses fans, but when he bought the CPU it came with a fan. For some reason mine did not, I had to buy a separate fan. I just need to know what fan(s) will get the job done for cooling with the least amount of fans needed.

You've been running a 9590 with a crappy little tx3,??!!??!!

You've not done your homework there my friend , the tx3 is just about good enough for a 95w quad/6 core fx.

What case & motherboard for you have, this is going to directly affect what you can do cooling wise.
You need a big, good performing 120mm tower cooler absolute minimum to even stand a chance with a 9590 (stiff on the 212 evo scale is nowhere near good enough)

As of right now this is what my computer looks like. This is what my friend recommended, but when I saw that my CPU came with no fan it told me I had to pick one and when I could not get a hold of him I picked out the cheapest one that PC Part picker said would have no Compatibility issues with. http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Zindith91/saved/#view=RzRXsY That's the link to look at my computer build ATM, with the old fan that's not quite getting the job done.

I live on the East Coast of the USA and the only fans are the CPU Tx3 fan, the Video Card dual fans, and the power pack fan. But I know the Tx3 fan will not, hell it does not cut it for cooling the CPU I have. My spending limit is around $300.00, even that's pushing it. so that would be the Noctua NH-D14 65.0 CFM CPU Cooler and leave me with enough for another fan, like a front mounted one, but I do not see where one would go on the case I have. IDK if you guys can see the part list I linked, if not let me know. But I need this answer ASAP, Best Buy has had my computer for the last 3 weeks and they are not happy.

I'm extremely confused.

- Why has Best Buy had your PC for 3 weeks?
- What did you spend the other $2100 on?

Honestly, the least expensive good option is to sell your 9590 on ebay, take the hit, and buy an 8350. Even better would be to move to a Haswell/Skylake build, but going to an 8350 is an option, and saves you from the trouble of selling the motherboard as well.

The 9590 is one of the worst consumer CPUs since the late Pentium 4s. Not that it's the *least powerful* or anything of course, but it's hot, inefficient, power-hungry, and sometimes still unstable despite a user's best efforts. "Help get my stock 9590 to work!" is sadly a too oft-used issue for us to look at.

It's a fun tinkering chip for the hobbyists that specialize in overclocking for fun, but otherwise, it's not anything I would ever recommend an average user purchase. Even if you bought a new case and added watercooling, I'd not want to run a lower-end EVGA with that particular CPU either. It's a lot of hassle for a heavily overclocked 8350 - I wish you had asked about your build here before you built, because it sounds like you've gotten some very poor advice.

It's a very long story that includes first buying Windows 10, thinking that was the problem, then buying Windows 7. That not being the problem, and spending about $500.00 a computer tech place here in N.J.(What a rip off) plus the cost of Windows 10 and Windows 7(Which was about $300.00 total) to figure that out. Next taking it back and forth to Best buy and spending about another $400.00 in the process and nothing was done or fixed, except they found a bug with the Motherboard, so I got a new one but had to pay about $20.00 more for shipping and $20.00ish for another 1 year Warranty. Then we went back to Best Buy and had them install the motherboard replacement and that was I think $50.00, Had to get a replacement ram, just one, but that's another $20.00 shipping, then had Best Buy do a full diagnosis to see why my computer was hard freezing which was $100.00, they had to do something to the SSD, I think it was a reformat, which they called it a quick fix, but that cost me another $40.00, then I bought the plan that covered all future expenses on the computer for a year which was another $100.00. But the total cost of the computer, Parts, Tax, Warranties, and Shipping was about $1000.00. The total is $2550.00, but still I don't feel like selling it, if this CPU will not work, can someone recommend another CPU instead? and of course a decent fan, may the one I mentioned, is that one good?

Okay well I got the Noctua U14S fan and the Corsair air 120 -twin pack http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... you recommended Madmatt but they did not work, it's still too hot even though the official AMD site said that the NH-U14S fan worked. So I think I got a defective CPU and mine just cannot be cooled so I give up. I just do not care anymore so I'm going with this CPU now, AMD FX-8350 4.0GHz 8-Core Processor. Hopefully this will solve my problem. I've even dialed back the voltage and multiplier and it still overheats. Thanks for the help guys.
