The Sabertooth has a 240 Watercooler and the Crosshair has a 120 dual fan Water cooler.. One thing I found out is that The VRM coolers got mighty hot when it was running.. The Asus board I pulled the heatsinks and changed the thermal paste. Since the dual fan coolar was over the larger VRM with both fans blowing it ran cool. I had to put a fan over the VRM's on the Sabertooth board. With an Asus RX 580 dual card the Sabertooth system runs great doing all the normal games fine.. The Crosshair has a 780 GTX and it plays all the titles fine also. I want to remind you that the motherboard you have may not be on the list of ones that can handle this power hungry Processor.. Always check the Vendor list. I took that Same 970 you had and gave it to my roomates upgrade from her athlon system to FX.

I know this is an older video but I feel compelled to comment. I bought this CPU in 2013 as an upgrade from a Phenom x6 1100t. My motherboard did not initially support the processor at it's proper speed so I upgraded to an Asrock board that had good reviews and a great feature set. At the same time I put in a Corsair H100 water cooler and a Corsair AX860 power supply. I never was able to run the machine to spec. It has a base clock of 4.7GHz but I ended up having to under clock it to 4.3GHz to keep the temperature under control. I have always supported AMD products and even accepted this one like that for 2 years but it was a nightmare the whole time. On hot summer days it wouldn't matter what steps I took I could not run it stably.

[@RandarTheBarbarian]

Makes me feel better about my overclock on the 8350 I used to have, was trying my best to hit 9590 clock speeds and I never hit 5ghz stable, but seeing your cinebench numbers I now know I had it right, even after I tried to blow it up. My final score after blowing a pair of CPU mosfets on an asrock board and resurrecting it from the dead was 736, within margin of error after it probably took 12v to the dome not so bad after all...

[@MrSnapy1]

The 8350 was a better choice IMO with aftermarket air cooling they can reach 4.8 mhz while running amazingly cool on a good 990fx MB.... Just built a friend a gaming pc and used my old fx paired with a rx 580. In 1080p it handles all games very well it surprised me with a better air flow case it ran better than when I used it. Yes it uses alot of power but still 100% viable for 1080p gaming in pretty much all games was getting 99% gpu usage. Ran good enough I could reshade most games and still got capped 60fps easy. Highest stress game temps was around 61 degrees my OC Ryzen sees a tad higher temps. Good case and fan set up along with a good 990fx MB makes some FX heater myths false anything over 4.8 cranked up the temps with little performance gain.... I would under clock these cpus to save the environment lol

There are definitely better options today for sure, but there is just something that I love about getting old hardware and seeing how viable it still is today. I recently built my 13 year old nephew a gaming PC using the FX-8350, Asus Sabertooth 990fx R2.0, 32GB of 1866MHz ECC memory, Sapphire Pulse Vega 56, Intel Optane NVMe SSD, NH-D15 CPU cooler, Seasonic Prime 1000W PSU, all in a 15 year old Lian Li PC-v1000 case. Ended up with a rock solid stable 4.5GHz OC on the CPU, with 2400MHz NB and HT. Definitely had more potential but the case was limiting. If I could I'd throw a 360mm AIO on it and see how far I could go. It was stable enough at 4.9GHz to run Geekbench but to get it completely 24 hour stress test stable I had to lower it to 4.5GHz. Of course I know almost all of those components are huge overkill for the CPU, but I had a blast building and testing it out and hopefully my nephew can reuse a lot of the parts later. It still runs games like Overwatch, DOOM, and Fortnite really well and actually isn't CPU bottlenecked in those. I tried playing Anthem on it but for that game the CPU bottleneck was hurting and fps never touched 60, sticking around 50 on all settings. Still playable but definitely shows it's age.

You have it all wrong...you can't smoke foods with other cpus. Try smoking an entire turkey with an i5...aint gonna happen.

[@stevenanderson9532]

Yeah 10 years later, duh

[@KSI_Revelations]

We should revisit the old FX 9590 about the time DDR5 and The next generation AMD Cpus become main stream. Pair it with a good enough gpu of course so we see it's full potential.

[@abcdefg9613]

Quick tip for Piledriver systems.Attempt to tinker with the ram timings and get them as low as you can. Due to the very long pipeline of these cpus and the branch miss every mistake takes alot of time in reprocessing (thats one of the reasons why its so god damn slow), because it has to fetch data again from ram.

[@iviivi187]

i have fx9590 paired with r9 390x and im playing on 4k since 2015

[@photonboy999]

*about Cinebench* There's two main versions being tested right now for those who don't know. R20 and R15. The scores are not interchangeable.

[@EquilibriumAlchemist]

Skipped am3 went to am4 from fm2. Still huge fan of fm2. Will acquire an am3 at some point, but it may be a wall ornament.

[@snortymcgout]

I’m new to pc stuff completely but if you’re testing a cpu don’t you want a really weak gpu or at least put the graphics on low?

[@bluescluessuperagent]

You want the most powerful gpu you can get

[@thegodhoward8037]

The 5700!!! I thought this was a budget channel lol

[@BBHexKey]

I've not gotten a chance to try any of the late (9000) bulldozer CPUs.. honestly I skipped over the FX series completely as an upgrade option, sticking with my Phenom II 1090T up until I finally got a window of opportunity with a nice paycheck and a 4 day vacation from work to grab myself a Ryzen 5 1600, MSI B350M Gaming Pro and a 2x4GB set of DDR4-2400 G.Skill Ripjaws V. I later on tried to use the old setup to find that the motherboard had somehow died within the month that it spent sitting in an old antistatic bag (RIP 970A-G43) and upped it to an MSI 970 Gaming, later on putting an FX-8350 in to allow it to play newer titles that rely on newer SSE instructions like FarCry 5, and I definitely noticed a performance difference between the 8350 and my R5, with the same XFX R9-380P-4255 card from my main rig (Replaced with Powercolor AXRX Vega 64). Framerates were noticeably worse, lots of frames dropped, just wasn't a particularly nice experience.

[@jackscoines6969]

This CPU is an absolute nightmare to overclock, you can only run it at 50mhz past is base speed, any more than that it overheats in seconds. All said and done though, mine runs at 4.8ghz per core, despite the heat and power, its actually quite goodeven despite its age. 7 years old and still giving you 60fps its a banger.

[@ghyul6263]

its true. its unsuitable not insuitable thanks for making me learn grammar more. this video helped me in another level

[@evilqtip7098]

FX8150 + GT1030 OC 2G DDR5. I love it... I play old games..

[@pocpc1788]

I see, you stepped out of your low budget zone! You bought a rx 5700 $350 USD, I think thats the most expensive graphic card you bought so far. I've been a SUB since 2016. Congrats!

[@christiangreif5430]

I used to run a 9590 in a sabertooth 990fx board and a 240mm aio with push pull and hit a stable 5.6ghz under stress and was perfectly fine until I upgraded

[@DickGazInYa]

I'm on the same board (970 Pro gaming aura) with a 9370 clocked at 5.1ghz. It's a challenge to get the FX platform to work correctly, but get it right and it's still plenty fast. As always with AMD... if you can cool it, you can clock it. And for the love of god, use some Coollaboratory Liquid Ultra. You are wasting your time / money and effort trying to use a paste. The CPU heats up way too fast, you'll get a lot of temp spikes with AS5 or similar.

[@floyd2444]

If the winter is coming, you already have the solution

[@HuntersMoon78]

I'm a happy bunny with my new upgrade - Ryzen 7 1700, Radeon RX 470 (Finally Working) and 16GB DDR4 3000MHz RAM. I have to say though my old FX 8150 was still able to game at a decent FPS.

[@Jorn-gy3yc]

Good build! I would gone with rx 480 8gb,still not much difference,

[@dakotadriggers8838]

I have one of these. Came with a 140mm aio. I even have the same gpu. Attempting to run it at 4.6 ghz and 1.35 volts and its sitting at 84 c

[@DabutCHeR3000]

I remember getting my first real build with an 8350 back in 2012. I was so excited to have an "8 core" cpu. The motherboard I had was too cheap though, the vrms "died" but for a while I was able to run it with a box fan blowing directly at the vrm haha

[@ChadC96]

I had a similar set up with this chip and cooler, unfortunately I learned after a year that the cooling unit was up to par. I learned this by a my screen going black during a game and then having a burning smell come from my computer. At first I had no idea what happened and frantically unplugged everything. Luckily it didn't catch fire. After that I had to stop playing games because my computer was fried and I didn't know how to fix it or what happened. Rip first build.

[@tenbob1972]

I had one and use it for around 3 years and for the most part got it running just fine on a asus saber tooth 2.0 board. it served me fine in both game apps but upgraded to a r7 1700x .

[@MrSzero13]

Im still a HUGE fan of my 9590 using asus sabertooth 2.0 990fx board AND I LOVE IT STILL :) Though overclocking this chip can be somewhat of a hassle ... tring to run it 5.0ghz proves difficult for sure .. i mostly in BIOS SETTING pci bus at 208 at 4.8ghz then memory goes to about 1660 23.5 multiplier

[@maximuscesar]

9590+7990= the ultimate test

[@MartStan]

Ive just thrown the old bird out after 8 years. Got a second gen ryzen 7 and the difference is unbelievable. Will wait till the 3rd gen is a bit cheaper before i get it 👍

[@fireboy216]

Great vid man, just a couple of questions. First off, does your rx 5700 show proper stats in whichever tool you are using (I assume you are using afterburner)? Every software I've used so far to measure my sapphire pulse xt model shows everything properly other than clock speed, which jumps from 80mhz all the way to 1800mhz and back. Performance is fine, but the numbers are all messed up. Second, in Witcher 3, did you use ssao or hbao+? When I tried hbao+ i took an unreasonable hit in performance, probably due to the fact that it's an Nvidia solution. Also aa gave me an unreasonable hit too. Hope to hear from you cause I honestly can't find any info online... Anyone else's feedback would also be extremely appreciated. Cheers!

[@boostergold9160]

When they unveiled the 9590, I got confused... I thought AMD made CPU's NOT cooking ware.

[@OfficialiGamer]

I still have an FX 8350, that is my Plex Media Server, runs great and quiet, plus sinice its paired with a GTX 1050 Ti. It can be a spare gaming rig

[@Davidgon100]

If I remember, back in the day this thing was on par with an OC'd 3570k. At twice the TDP and price lol

[@RyanmcgroveUs]

Just a week ago turned my FX-9590 machine into a server by installing some ECC RAM. Main desktop runs Ryzen now, FX-9590 is a good idea for a home server.

[@bodasactra]

Its great for taking its FX Wraith Max fan and using it on a Ryzen 5. Clips right on with no tools/screws, has great temps, and opens up some OC headroom. The Spire cooler it comes with cant do any of that.

[@OsmosisHD]

FX8350 + R290X that thing could seriously increase the temp of my appartement by 3~5C in a hour of gaming and increase my monthy powerusage by 80+KWh.

[@spacy9571]

Yea my r9 290 performs like rx 570 but boyyyy is it hot
