The AMD FX-9590 was the world's first widely available 5GHz enthusiast CPU yet it was launched at a bad time when the Piledriver architecture struggled to compete with Intel. But how well does it compete today? Let's take another look at this legendary processor and overclock it on the ASUS 990FX Sabertooth. :)

My HTPC in the living room is a FX-9590 with a MSI Aero OC GTX-1080 running on a 65 inch 4K TV. Runs all my emulator games like CEMU, Dolphin and Mame32 at 2X full speed. E.g: Breath of the Wild run at 60FPS@1440p when unlocked. My main gaming system is an 1800X with a faster OC GTX-1080. Both of them have Corsair PSUs with USB Digital Links which can display the input and output wattage of the PSU in real time. Power usage is on average is about 40 to 50 watts more than the 1800X or about 280 watts on average under typical gaming load, with both systems on high performance power plan, though the FX-9590 CPU is fine tuned and undervolted with MSRtweak. Both systems game easily at 1440p@ minimum 60FPS with anything thrown at it

My ud3 r5 is a trooper.. I've roached 8 psus overclocking this beast over 5.18ghz. It can knock a buzzard off a brick shit house at a hundred paces with the amount of stank it can make a psu put off. Finally went to an 1800watt mining psu.. I can get it up 5.34 stable for around 40 minutes, but if I had to guess I bet its sucking 700 watts when you fire up the initial bench.. This mutha is a straight up beast.

1600 vs a decent 8350 or 8370 that you can lock at 4.6-4.7 24/7 and still get lower full load temps then the 9k chips... i have tested myself.. unless its the 1600 thats really a 2600series chip, the fx line in many workloads, is just faster or not enough slower its worth mention, if games are the only concern, yeah thats true... but a few friends are waiting till this situation settles, and supply chains are back up and running before moving past decently overclocked fx chips... mind you, i have also seen sample shit 5ghz at 1.46v using high llc and offset mode, and, even seen that build then re-configured(even using the command line tools) for 5ghz base close with a turbo to 5.5ghz.... at 1.48v....and....my buddy got it working on his 990fx ud9.....a board i cannot even find any good info about online, the bios he has are updated by a gigabyte employee who just emails them on request im told, anyway, the boards even got water cooling on the chipsets... and hes got it all working in a quad pumped rig that uses a thick 120 rad with push/pull high static pressure fans just for the chipset/vrm/etc, the cpu has a 280mm thick ran with 4 high static pressure fans, its running 2x1070mini cards at the moment....mostly because he had 2 cards when his wifes 3k Extreme Edition system caught fire...(board took the cpu and ram and videocards when it went... maker actually paid to ship the whole system to them and replaced it...they wanted to try and figure out why the board burst into flames...it wasnt the first time from the way they acted.....) anyway, honestly... the FX line, had their place, and im greatful for them at times... they kept many friends of mine able to game during dark times... still are in more then a few cases... if amd had done some actual hand tuning to the FX design before putting it on the market, fixxing the cache latancy and overall speed issues.. it could have done far better at keeping up......(i have seen and used a few never released products that where in effect, 2-4 apu's on a single socket and, it wasnt perfect by any means...the fact it came much closer to intels 4c8t chips of the day... always has made me wish they had put out chips based on the last APU revision, but 8c8t for am3+, even if it had simply been something like a 3550 and 8750 models that just gave us the newer cores, at the most reasonable clocks they could manage...no, not perfect, but, something to help those who have remained loyal, and, those who cannot yet swing a full platform upgrade... )

How? The FX 9590 chip with 8 Cores was getting beaten by a i5 4690 with 4 cores. Today Intel chips with the same core count like the 8700K is going toe to toe with the 3600X with the same core/thread count and the same goes for the 9900K vs 3700X same core/thread count... Not even remotely close to how far behind the AMD chips where in those days. Today Intel and AMD are both on par with each other when it comes to core for core performance. Intel is only loosing because of their pricing.

@@shadowtheimpure Wow, you sound like an AMD zealot. Zen2 still trades blows with Intel, even in MT usage. Infinity Fabric remains a huge bottleneck; compare memory access of ~70ns (cross-CCX) to Intel's ~35ns -- which, believe it or not, is relevant in heavily multi-threaded workloads. Benchmarks won't show the difference since they don't work with large amounts of data -- which means that most memory access is to the CPU Cache, of which AMD threw ballsy amounts to compensate. Same with eg. 3990X - it's a dead product due to its memory limitations.

Now running a ryzen 5 3600x just for longevity, as I had no idea how long the 4790k would last me. Gotta say though, this thing was running at a horribly high voltage out of the box, and ran at like 50 degrees at idle.. Better after I went through with aisuite's easy tune, but the stock heatsink is still pretty loud. Couldn't use my AIO from the 4790k (might've been a good thing though, as it was like 5-6 years old), so still debating what cooler to get :p Definitely going with air cooler now, as they'll basically last forever, but can't decide

As you can see the fx chip is a good as comparing a toy plane to an actual plane. btw that ryzen chip getting smashed by the i9 9900k in all benchmarks was amazing right amd really likes misleading people, cough the ryzen cpu was more then double the price of the i9 and had double the power consumption cause it uses double the cores. cough ryzen 3rd gen is not 7nm look it up! its actually 12nm lol amd MISLEADING PEOPLE once again just like saying 4 core fx cpus was 8 core when it wasnt, ryzen aint 7nm its 12nm amd just saying (in pending lawsuit) that its AMD's interpretation of 7nm which is bull shet.

With the 9590, you may need to go back farther with older GPUs to have any "fun." I have one and Cyberpunk 2077 runs fine on ultra settings. The bottleneck is my GPU. The 9590 has an average usage of 50-70% throughout the game. That being said, I played the game on release and have not experienced the latest patches.

Meaning: 8 cores with integer calculation BUT only 4 cores for FPU-calculations.

from what i was told at the time, the 8350 was the same as the 9590 with a higher clock. doing a ton of overclocking on a 8350 the first thing that caught my attention was hitting stability. a 4.7GH was far more simple to stabilize compared to a 5GH clock, getting a 5GH required a lot of modifications and still had low stability running high loads. The temperature issue makes sense since i always had mine set to 60c and constant temperature monitoring to watch for instabilities. but generally 4.3-4.5 was simple, 4.5-4.7 was where it started to lose stability, and 4.7-5.0 was basically walking on thin ice waiting for it to crash. there was a time where i had a stable 4.8 running but i tweaked some things in it and ended up just deleting the profile because it wasn't worth running.

Most of them were not clocked so high to begin with, though they generally would overclock very well if you had a good enough motherboard and power supply and knew what you were doing. They were also very competitively priced. They had some good budget options, like the 4300 and 6300 (4-core and 6-core variants). They had great bang per buck, but they didn't sell particularly well. One of the issues was that they didn't offer much (if any) improvement over the performance of the previous gen AM3 CPUs (such as Thuban), so a lot of the people who were willing to buy AMD CPUs were already happy with what they already had, presumably (I know I was). I stayed with the AM3 platform with a few different CPUs, the last being a 960T which, in my case, was a super good overclocker, until I finally upgraded to AM4 about a year ago.

Never really had major issues with temps, I run a Corsair AiO and it's been fine. I coupled it with a GTX 970 and considering the whole system falls way below current minimum standards it's comfortably able to run just about any new game at low to mid settings, some older ones on high or even ultra.

@@conandude76 Some IBM POWER9 CPUs even have 8 threads per core! Really, they're just trying to use the execution units that carry out the program instructions more efficiently - instead of having, say, 80 cores with one of everything on each, they have 10 cores with, perhaps, 8 of each of the really common simple functions that are used all the time, 4 or 6 of each less-used/more-complex function and maybe only a couple of the rarely-used and/or really complex parts, plus some logic to allocate them to threads as and when needed. (That's a massive oversimplification but hopefully you get the general idea.) Intel kind of came at it from a slightly different direction with Pentium 4 HT - the P4's design meant that a lot of its resources spent a lot of time sitting idle so it was possible to get a worthwhile amount of extra performance relatively easily by having a second thread keeping them busy. (Actually, AMD FX had a little bit of this - the pair of cores that made up each module shared a few functions that AMD judged to be less heavily-used - hence the legal dispute about whether they really had as many cores as was advertised.)

Some processoes only get warm during stress tests. My i5 2400 won't get past 55ºC. So the cooler doesn't even feel warm

Wrong. Getting hot (not warm) to the touch is BAD. That means the fan(s) aren't dissipating heat from the fin array fast enough. For that kind of reaction with a U12S speaks volumes of how much heat is being put out by this CPU.

@@HardwareCanucks Yeah because your pushing it farther than normal in a benchmark. Are you kidding me?! Yes its gonna run hot! Then you overclocked it. Which they specifically tell you NOT to do. Ugh! You drive me crazy with this! An yes when it gets hot its because its not one of the Recommended coolers. Now do you remember. They specifically said Corsair and other liquid coolers. Why are you using a fan one? See this... This drives me up the way. Your doing it wrong an then saying see the temps are hot! NO!

"Back then AMD didn't have simultaneous multithreading" ... Yes they did. It was even slightly more efficient than Intels version. They just preferred to call each thread a core to look like much better value-per-money than they were. The FX-9590 realistically speaking was a Quadcore with Multithreading.

I owned an FX-9370 for maybe 6 years. Only reason I had it was because I wasn't able to buy the parts for my system myself at the time. I remember an Ivy Bridge Xeon I was looking into at the time was probably $10CAD more expensive than the $210 the FX-9370 came out to, but was more or less an i7 with no graphics on board. That FX-9370 gave me so many problems. It killed the first motherboard it was installed in, because the person who helped me buy parts refused to believe that it would require a 990FX chipset. First all the USB ports basically died, so I sold that motherboard for cheap to a friend who didn't care. A few months later the VRMs died and the board was toasted - he was running something like an FX-6300 in it. It killed a Corsair H80i in 6 months. After 3 years one of the original Corsair fans included with the first pump that I had still been using literally fell apart pushing 90% because of the heat of the chip on idle. It would hit 60 degrees Celsius before I could enter the BIOS in it's second motherboard (a Crosshair V Formula Z) with a brand second new H80i. It was incredibly painful to use - after the first 2 years I ended up permanently underclocking it to 3.0GHz, reducing it's voltage down to 1.38v or so, and disabling 2 of it's 8 cores. It would still run hot when idling. Everyone I talked to asked how it could possibly run hotter than an FX-6 series when I was running it slower. It wasn't stable below the voltage I managed to get it to. It frequently reached 95 degrees C occasionally when doing nearly nothing in Windows. I had it shut down while running games nowhere near demanding more than once, because of heat. It was so slow to use that an SSD with advertised with over 500mbps r/w had no impact on boot speed over a mechanical 7200RPM hard drive. My case had 3 Enermax 120mm fans which I still use in my new system, a Noctua Industrial 140mm, and 2 more Enermax 120mm fans the very much worn out sets of Corsair fans I have - airflow was not an issue. Before I ended up permanently underclocking it, I had done a test to run the system at 1GHz, 1 core and as low of a voltage I could achieve to boot the system with (not even bothering with stability). It *still* ran hot. I have never been so glad to replace anything I've ever used like how I did when I was free from that FX a few months ago. The last system I was using before I assembled the FX system was a low profile OEM system running Sandy Bridge Pentium G with an Nvidia 210 added to it, and I swear that Pentium G pushed better than my FX-9370 ever did.

i had one back in the day. bought it new off newegg for $100 and it sat in an asus sabertooth motherboard. it was cooled by a corsair 240mm aio and hit a stable 5.5ghz overclock. used it until i got my i7 8700k machine built. good strong chip still decent today for most tasks

My old computer was a Crosshair-V Formula-Z motherboard, FX-8350 black edition at 5GHz With Four Sapphire HD-7950 graphics cards, all crossfired. It was insane how hot my room used to be. I switched to AM4 with a Ryzen 7 2700X, and two XFX R9 390 graphics cards. I kinda miss how warm my room used to be. I live in Oregon where summers get around ~75 Fahrenheit, it was almost unplayable during summertime because of how hot my room was.

Still using an FX8350 @ 4.5Ghz (w/ NH-D15) + R9 290 @ 1100Mhz core / 1500Mhz memory (w/ Raijintek Morpheus II + 2 x NF-A12x25). It's not that bad for 1080p gaming and general productivity, but I do hope to upgrade with hardware that's from this decade.

What a timely video. My Corsair H100i that was cooling my FX-9590 since 2013 recently died... I expect my electricity bill to go down. I had the Asus Sabertooth 990FX... First one died, RMA'd board died (both had faulty solder). I switched to a Gigabyte board and had no problems for running continually for the last 6 years. Now I'm in the market for a replacement cooler... do I want to spend the money for replacement Corsair water cooler or take my chance on Noctua DH-15s... hmmm

I've seen this processor 9590 5000Mhz was overclocked and the ASUS 990FX Sabertooth caught on fire.. That scared me man it was scary to see & bad.. It really went up and the amount of snapping and fire just shocked me.. so be safe people don't come home to well ashes and no home !!!

Are you sure this isn't my old setup? I sold my fx9590 and Asus 990x sabertooth on ebay about 6 months ago. Still watching the video, but I will say I went from my gtx 970, to a 1070ti, an saw minimal improvement. Ditched the fx for a ryzen 3800x, and saw a BIG improvement. I'm not happy to find that the system I built years ago was already a bottleneck for my gpu.

I first got into PC gaming and building about 12 years ago and the fondest memories I have are of the Phenom II X2 555 which was a dual core CPU but you could activate the other 2 cores in the BIOS and some were stable as full quad cores. I was finally able to get mine stable with 3 cores running at 3.9 GHz. If you guys have one of those lying around I'd love to see how your chip compared. I also have fond memories of overclocking with my Powercolor HD4850, running the Crysis benchmark over and over again trying to get over 40 fps regularly at high settings on my 17" Sony CRT monitor at 1024x720 LOL.

i currently still use my pc thats a fx 9590 with the same motherboard, im finally going to be upgrading but this cpu is a nightmare, the only way i ever got it stable was to disable turbo and underclock slightly. it just randomly crashs even though the temps are low. im gonna be so glad to have a new build soon
