FX9590 a moment of madness

Good to hear jbh!

If he could hit 5Ghz on that, you should be golden for 4.7 day to day with a decent cooler.

Andy the 8350 has arrived today

what were you using for cooling?
Im hoping to get it in over the weekend once im finished tying up family stuff but looking forward to it

I first used a Thermalright ultra extreme 120 (TRUE) which worked well at stock and up to a slight OC to 4.2GHz. For a bit of blue bling, I then used a Phanteks as below and this was OK at up to 4.5GHz 24/7 and the odd bit of benching at up to 5GHz.

YOUR BASKET
1 x Phanteks PH-TC14PE CPU Cooler - Blue £69.98
Total : £79.58 (includes shipping : £8.00).

Recently however it has been custom watercooled which kept it nice and cool at 4.7GHz. I have always had cool and quiet enabled in the bios. It should readily do 4.7GHz on air as I have never pushed it for a 24/7 OC. I am not an avid gamer

I hope that it was as expected and you have good service from this, keep me posted.

cheers Andy yes spot on and I will let you know how I get on with it.

Ive been looking at liquid coolers but Ive not bought one yet. its a toss up between a corsair h55 or h60 and im also considering a Zalman reserator 3 MAX which at the moment im liking the look off

I think custom watercooled will be on the cards next year but not at the moment until I know whats happening with my youngest son as hes due to go back into the hospital next year for another major operation.

Get a H100 if your case can accommodate. Smaller ones wont cut it!

I was looking at the H100 but sadly theres no chance of it fitting into my case.
there was one boy managed to get an H100 into a zalman z9+ case but im not liking the finished look...

A picture of my 'smallish' Lian Li v1000 case with the Phanteks air cooler in. This cooler was in my opinion, the best air cooler I have owned and is better than the smaller AIO coolers. This was with the previous M5A99X board, not the current crosshair. It was efficient at cooling with only one exhaust and one intake fan.

If you can imagine a 240 rad shoehorned into the lower compartment, removing the drives to the upper 5.25" bays, a tube res above the exhaust fan and a D5 pump in front of the exhaust fan, that is where I am now. Still needing a slightly newer bigger case

Pic of Phantek

For those still interested in the fx9590, I am running stock with turbo enabled at 1.37Vcore and IBT / AIDA64 stable ATM. When I do get the chance I will give it some beans.

I looked at the phanteks cooler. I like the look of it but my thoughts would be a liquid would cool better than air or am I wrong?

I got a spare 10 minutes today so the 8350 is in and is running sweet at 4.2 at the moment. my thoughts is I wont push it to far the now till I get a better cooler

Top end air or liquid, there is not too much difference. Down to user preference really.

Thanks for letting me know about the 8350, it is a good processor.

cheers, andy.

AIO liquid looks better, top end air cooler about the same actual performance. For ultra high end performance, need to go full loop - can get amazing results on that

not a problem Andy

I like the idea of a liquid cooler for looks as well as the better cooling that my existing cooler isint giving.
I was looking at an h80i as that would be the biggest that would fit in my case.

I've got a stable 4.3 but not willing to go any further with my cooler

the full loop system would scare me to be honest.. I would like something like that but being new to it all I think that will need to wait.
when I decide to build my next system I might go down that route.

jbh110tdi · 18 Oct 2014 at 21:10

looks like my problem is sorted... it will be a corsair H80i ill be getting.. My dad picked up a sealed one today at a boot sale of all places for a tenner!!!

Tuvoc · 18 Oct 2014 at 22:06

A tenner !! Very lucky.

yea I'm well chuffed.

he spends half his time at boot sales looking for old valve radios since hes retired.
when he phoned me to tell me he had bought a bit for a pc my first thoughts was ohh no what rubbish has he bought me now...
then he says its new and still sealed its a corsair 80 something...
thats when I started asking him what it said on the box.
his description of the part was it looks like a car radiator with a fan and tubes coming out of it...

gpuerrilla · 20 Oct 2014 at 23:01

Good result that!

Overclock it and get back to us.

More on the 9590. I'm waiting to here how it does compared to the 8350 to decide if I buy 8370 or 9590.

I am currently running 4.85GHz with turbo at 5.15GHz, mem at 1.92Ghz. Vcore at 1.42V Bios (1.44V under load).

This passes Realbench 2.2 , Aida64 stress test, IBT, Handbrake, without throttling. With a bigger, better case, this is my limiting factor, I am sure I could get higher.

The computer boots at 5.1GHz and I can run Cinebench at 5GHz, similarly to my 8350. But at 1.48V a slight reduction in voltage.

So overall, a slight improvement, still more to do.

gpuerrilla · 21 Oct 2014 at 21:01

Ace that Andy, may need to pop back to the BIOS and get back on the overclock now the house is freezing in a morning!

Thats pretty good, beats my 8350 by 0.06v, would save a good bit of heat!

'Nkata' is there any chance you'd be able to post BIOS screenshots of your current settings, as I'm sure it would not only help me out but also other users who are still very new to overclocking

Thanks in advance
