Okay guys
whats the difference between a fx-6300 and a 6350?
is it just slightly higher clock speed?

Also, whats the difference between the 8350 and a 9590?
they are both AMD FX, 8 core chips, and both for am3+ socket..

is the 9590 a better chip than the 8350?
its definately a higher price...

cheers
 
fx6300 is a 95w the fx6350 is a 125w and with a higher overclock, no point in getting it as your chip already @4.5ghz.

The 8350 is a 125w while the 9590 is a 220w which your more than likey need a new motherboard, the sabertooth r2 or a crosshair v formaula z.

The 9590 is just a binned 8350 and clocked @4.7ghz turbo to 5ghz but needs some good cooling.

After some realbench

and heatsink Silverstone HE01 (on low settings).

Not bad as you got a very good undervolter chip as if it was @1.5 like most are you would not be able to use that air cooler.

It is a case of having a good motherboard (Crosshair V Formula -non Z) which has excellent VRM's, resetting the VRM heatsink with high performing thermal interface and sorting the voltages and LLC in the bios. I still need to look at the SB as it does get quite warm.

Airflow is helpful, in this instance, two 140mm intakes and three 120mm exhaust. All at less than 800rpm, so very quiet.

The CPU and motherboard were watercooled in the first place but I became fed up with the complexity and returned to air at little or no deficit.

Partly to do with the board, but it's mainly to do with the cpu, on what volt's it need's to reach them speed's.

OK I admit the ability of the CPU.:D

But also claim some responsibility for not accepting the voltage out of the box without some modification. From memory 1.475V
