FX-9590

Poor (edit your comment) Add link

AMD lied about the amount of cores in this and other bulldozer CPUs

Terrible

For 150£ today its very good value for an 8 core cpu it still will be much better than many i3 for that money

Poor

my friend have this Cpu and he play all games on Highest settings with high fps

Excellent

Though just a better binned and clocked 8350/70, the 9590 offers respectable gaming performance. It pales in comparison to Ryzen's recent offerings which have more threads and better IPC with lower power draw and thermals. But if you're rocking an AM3+, this is actually not a bad deal, provided you disable the core performance boost. The occasional 5ghz single core boos is really not worth the heat and power draw, and more often than not causes instability. I decided to turn mine off and leave all cores 4.7-4.8 with a bit of an undervolt. This seemed to work wonderfully in terms of heat and power draw. This chip is a good pairing with RX580 and maybe up to an Vega 56. It's good for 60+fps on most games at 1080p, though it won't max out a Vega 64 , 5700xt or 2080 (*spits*). Prices are not very good for the 9590, however. If you can find an 8350 for less than $80 just overclock it. 9590 is guaranteed high bin. Before i passed down my AM3+ build, I was getting over 120fps on games like Black Ops 4 and Doom paired with a Vega 56. If the price is right and youre not ready to jump to AM4, these will work just fine for most people.

Good

Still able to run everything I throw at it in 2019. Using it as a workstation, it's operated 24/7 without any downtime.

Terrible

just cool it down with a car radiator and it is a great chip

Excellent

well still hold up alright today can play the newest game no problem

Excellent

I have one and it runs everything still brilliantly with a temp of 42° on a H110i after 5 years.

Above average

CPU-Z FX-9590

Terrible

low perfomance for that price

Poor

If you buy and use this CPU you're going to need 250W air cooler or liquid cooling, and motherboard with excellent VRM if you don't want to turn the die into a red hot molten silicon or magic smokes appearing on your motherboard, respectively.

Terrible

Don't let the core count and clock speed fool you, this is a very slow CPU and the value is very poor. Yes, the clock speed is insane, but in real world performance, it's terrible. Not even the 8 cores helps it perform well, do not buy it, if your looking to buy a budget gaming pc, buy a modern ryzen. Do not buy this crap.

Poor

it low for 4k

Terrible

This thing will probably start a fire if you don't use a watercooler with it. 220 watts is WAY too much for a small chip and this is basically an overclocked version of the FX 8350. There's literally no difference. Also it's not 8 cores. 4 CORES, 8 THREADS. THERE'S A DIFFERENCE

Good

I've used this CPU for 2 years, and it has been a great choice. Do get some beefy cooling though, or your PC might catch on fire.

Average

A very overpriced CPU at the time of its release. This CPU sported eight cores and threads and claimed to turbo to 5.0Ghz. Although it seemed like a beast, this CPU required a very beefy PSU and liquid cooling, due to its immense heat output, and performed worse than intel X-series chips. Because of its performance, people opted for the much more efficient intel X-series chips. AMD later decided to lower the price of this CPU to $230, making it an absolute steal for enthusiasts.

Good

Ok, it's been 3 years now. I did what people said could not be done: Cool it with a Hyper 212X + a bunch of fans, and using a (very high quality might I add) 750W PSU. Managed 5Ghz stable, anything past that causes Vdroop and temps are quite lower than I expected (35ºC Idle, 50-60ºC Load). Quite happy about it and I don't expect to upgrade the CPU or MB for a while, got the CPU on sale for 120£.

Your never going to believe this #1. 125w is too much 75w is more than enough and them expensive motherboards are not needed. picture says a thousand words but first the company rig setup is as following. MB. gigabyte ga-78lmt-s2 rev 1.2 #2.CPU and AIR Cooler. AMD fx9890 @ 4.9ghz with cheapest stock cooler that came on the fx4300 it swapped out. #3. Kingston hyper furyx blue 16gb 1333mhz cas lat 10 stock clock which is overclocked to 1600 cas lat12 #4. Crappy old gateway hdd snagged out of a antique laptop. #5. Gtx 950 gpu #6. Corseair CX750M 750w psu I think 75w is fine with this cpu obviosly i cant use this until i receive a better cooler but this shows air is possible unless copper pipes are truely garbage. got it running 4.9 on and uncompaible motherboard that just needs a better north bridge heatsink and at most a h60 would probably be overkill until i hit around 5.2 to 5.3 ghz im willing to bet. Maybe i just won the lotteries lottery but im really not that lucky and i think the factory 220w statement was a **** up nobody ever cought and 120w is the max. This mb will give you an error message about cpu right away and the only way to bypass it with your saved bios settings is to hit esc before it gets to 0 every time you boot/restart. interesting non the less and computer gambles seem to be paying off for me as I can make it exceptional like my evga980 ftw v1 testing out at 93% with 4k resolution on my 1600x rig. ehh didn't realize max temp was 57c might have damaged it a tiny bit as it opens apps slower now but it was a fun mistake. Thomas your stupid and userbenchmark you got it wrong 8 core 8 thread look it up @ amd.com

Proof of uncompadable mb and air cooler running test at 4.9 getting same scores as the expensive boards along with cpu damaging stupidity temps. should have looked it up rather than assuming 80-90c is thermonuclear temp range like lots of their cpus are.

Average

I hope your VRMs can handle this, since mine sure can't. Had to underclock to 4.2 GHz. I'd only recommend it if you virtually got it for free (like I did from my dad), or if you buy it around $50-100. And if you're wondering, I'm running on a Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 R5.

Excellent
