Hello all,
just finished building a new 9590 gaming rig
been playing elite dangerous on ultra for over an hour, and the cpu temp has never gone above 25c, I am using the corsair H110iGTX AIO cooler, and I was showing temps of around 37.5c,
not bad considering biggest thermal baddy in my system is the sapphire radeon nitro 8ghz r9 390 1040mhz, with load temp of around 67-69c

good or bad ?
 
hmm you've bought an out of date CPU, and I'm sure ive read that AMD arnt great at reporting temps.
 
The problem is AMD temperature censor is not very accurate.
Bad or not depends entirely on how much you did pay for it. >£150 indeed it is a pretty bad choice, <£100 well it's not that bad after all. <£50 oh yeah baby
 
My advice would be to use DSR to your advantage and swap the cpu if you bought it new!

Temperatures definitely aren't correct, no way a 4.7GHz 8 core AMD chip doesn't go over 40 under full load.
 
Don't worry about what the fanboys on here say, the 9590 is a great CPU IF you have a good enough motherboard to run it properly?

I have a 8320 @ 4.75, an I7 and now an I5 (work threw out 50+ 3570 spec pcs and I grabbed one) and they are all much of a muchness.
 
Nothing wrong with your cpu choice if its working for what you play and how you play ..... that temp does look low, what motherboard are you using and which software are you using to check the temps ??
 
Use CPUz and HWmonitor to check that the CPU is not throttling, but yes if you have it set up right, there is nothing wrong with the FX9590. Mine is between 35C and 45C generally after being on some time depending on ambient, maxing at 55C with prolonged hard use.

25C with gaming is low unless you have superb cooling and airflow.
 
Since when did the 9590 become anything other than a laughing stock?
A great CPU, now I know I've heard it all.

Obviously, I mean in the context of how is it great? It was a pointless release at launch, and it's nothing special now, by what merit can it be great? It's not a price/performance king etc.

The FX8320 at 100 was the last great CPU offering from AMD, or a 70 quid FX6300

The 9590 was a laughing stock due to its launch price. Right now it barely costs any more than an 8350 (~£20). Paying so little more might be worth it to a lot of people for a guaranteed speed, rather than having to worry about overclocking. Of course, there's the whole debate about AMD's binning process on top of that and whether, say, one of the 'e' series chips might use a lot less power if you can get it to the same clocks, but that's really all speculation and luck of the draw.
 
Given what the FX9590 is, even at about 150 it's still a bit of a laughing stock as it can't consistently out run an i3.

If you put it in the context that the FX9590 Is a flagship product with like 200w tdp etc. It's David versus goliath.

In what task? From what I've seen, it handily beats an i3 in any modern game, and matches a stock i7 in many. Of course, it uses a hell of a lot more power to achieve that performance and it's not like I'd actually recommend buying one at this point, but the performance is decent enough.

Well yes, but this is hardly anything new. It's an overclocked CPU from 2012 after all. Ultimately, "flagship" or not, these days it's priced reasonably for what it offers.

for £150 a Locked intel i5 for £130 would wreck this. Pointless purchase. Uses more power performs worse, No upgrade path makes no sense atall.
