R9 290 and AMD FX-9590?

[Kupari]

Just ordered an AMD FX-9590 Black Edition to replace my FX-6300. I'm also running an R9 290 in the same system. I have a Super Flower 750w PSU, would this be fine or would I need to upgrade that as well?

Thanks.

Your PSU is fine.

Does your motherboard support that FX9590 CPU? not all do.

I hope you have a high end cpu cooler as well, as that things runs HOT.

Yeah I checked before I bought it, the board is compatible.

I'm using an Akasa Nero 3 V2. Hoping that will be enough, at least for now.

I doubt if that cooler will keep temps acceptable. You should have got a 8320E and clocked it.

Not as bad as them 4790k's

I'd definitely consider purchasing a better aftermarket cooler for that CPU Kupari.

Heat and temperature isnt the same. The 9590 puts out a lot of heat. 4790ks are easier to cool.

Aye, I thought as much.

Yea, de-lidding is sooooooooo easy

But i know what you mean with regards amount of heat produced

While related to one another, they are different concepts.
