will this water cooler work good enough for the amd 9590

will the Corsair Hydro Series™ H80i V2 Water be enough to cool the amd 9590.i plan on putting it in a Thermaltake Core V71 Extreme Full Tower for more space.

It will cool it fine, you will get really good temperatures, watercooling is great for overclocking if you're going down that route. You will be perfectly fine with it so long as you have room to mount the radiators.

EDIT:
Donkey oatie is right, completely underestimated the tdp, was basing my suggestion on what i know about fx 8xxx chip temperatures

I disagree with the above. The 9590 is a 220W CPU (or more). The 80i V2 is a very good 120mm cooler, but something that has holds stress temperatures on an overclocked i7 4790K to 79C, will be too weak for the lava furnace that is the 9590. In addition, to get the best cooling, the fans run at 2500 rpm, which is far too loud for my taste.

1. I would not use a FX 9590 for anything in the first place. I'd overclock that snot out of a 8350 or 8370 or even a 8320 and get almost the same performance easier, more reliably, more controllably, and cooler if I were wedded to an AMD solution.

2. I would want a very good 240 or 280 or even 360mm radiator cooler if someone held a gun to my head and made me use a FX 9590. AMD chips have a significantly lower safe temperature compared to Intel and the combination of high temperature and high voltage (9590 is the poster child for this) leads to a short, but busy, life.

3. Make certain that you have a very good 990FX motherboard to run that monster.

what about the Corsair Hydro Series™ H115i, would that be enough to cool.

Don't know about the H1150i enough, it's too new. Look at Swiftech H 240X (for one). It used a very good pump and waterblock and although AIO, can be customized.

The Corsair H110i GTX would have been my best choice if Corsair must be your manufacturer. It can be loud too.
