I'm new to pc gaming and I don't know too much about motherboards yet but these are my two choices, the asus 970 aura or the 990 gigabyte, I have 4x8 gb sticks of crucial ballistic tactical ddr3 ram, my cpu is the amd 9590fx black, gpu is evga geforce gtx 960 ftw, and my choice of coolers is the lepa exillusion 240 or the cool master seidon 120, my case is a in win 303, which is the better choice?
Which mobo to go with a Asus 970 pro gaming aura or gigabyte ga-990fxa-ud3

Think I'd go the GB, the Aura doesn't show your CPU in their support list

For the cooler, I'd go with the EXllusion, the Seidon prob won't hack it with the 9590, have one on my 8370 and it does OK, but the 9590 I'd want a good 240 RAD

Wow this chip is fire heating up the exillusion 240 and staying at a almost constant 40c what the heck is wrong with this setup, it's almost enough to heat my whole house, what am I doing wrong , I have the radiator on push pull 1/2 inch clear tube at 12 inches with 2 elbow joints on each line I don't understand the high temp

It's a 9590 and pulls 220 watts, you might try changing the thermal compound, it doesn't take much much just a little dab about the size of a grain of rice. If the air on the cooling blowing from in the case or out of the case (I use mine blowing in)
