hey guys. got a thermal take toughpower 1000w psu, corsair h60 cooling unit. amd fx 9590, asus sabertooth 990fx r2.0 and 32 gigs of hyper x fury. getting random freezes. not sure of the problem. be scouring the site for an answer. sorry for repost. thought it was temps but not 100% sure. not giving temp warning before freezing.

if you get a air cooler like NH-D15s for ram clearance or NH-D15 get them on amazon also look at my other link to see how much it dropped my temps. random freezing is normally a voltage/clock speed issue or temp issue, http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2890221/8350-air-cooler-asus-sabertooth-990fx-motherboard.html

D15 is the minimum air cooler for a 9590. I would not get anything else for air.
And, be sure to have a fan blowing onto the VRM sink. Put a fan behind your motherboard socket, too. It doesn't have to be as powerful but there is some extra cooling to be gained from doing that with an ASUS board. A 120mm slim sleeve fan would be fine.
Ignore the advice about replacing the CPU.
The good news is that you have a very good board that will support that CPU fine.
The other issue could be that your RAM is causing trouble. AMD FX is only rated for 1600 speed RAM with 32 GB and 4 sticks as far as I know. You may need to drop your RAM speed and tweak until stable. But, I bet your problems lie elsewhere. 1600 RAM at CAS 9 doesn't really bottleneck (although CAS 8 is better) because of the large cache on the FX chip. I didn't notice much of an improvement from switching from CAS 8-8-8 1600 to CAS 9-11-10 2133.

What are your temps at? You can use Overdrive or HWmonitor to view your CPU temps. It would be interesting to see what your temps are at while idle and under load before we jump all over your cooling. Yes the 9590 is a beast and needs really good cooling, but we don't even know where your temps are. I also have Sabertooth 990 FX R2.0 and when I upgraded to FX 8370 I had to update my BIOS to get everything stable and start overclocking. Do you have the latest BIOS?
