my Cooler is a Hydro Series™ H100i v2 Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler

I got tired of my PC freezing over and over to the point I take my PC in (they fix it, lasts a day or 2) than I read online that the FX-9590 is overclocked from the factory (speedfan showed hot temps) if you don't mess around in your PC Bios and disable Turbo.......so I went into my Bios and clicked Advanced than I found
AMD Turbo CORE Technology>AUTO I set to disable
CPU Spread Spectrum>AUTO I set to disable
PCIe Spread Spectrum>AUTO I set to disable
since I did that, speedfan shows much cooler temps and PC never froze since

and I'm running 2 browsers right now with a total of 17 tabs and most are youtube videos and even after hours of gameplay PC is fine
 
Solution
Your workaround solution is to set the CPU to no longer perform at it's maximum; an overclocked FX-8350 or FX-8370 would basically be as fast and cost less.
