This Used Gaming PC Is a 5GHz Fire Hazard (Pt. 1)

I recently picked up a second hand AMD FX 9590 prebuilt gaming PC online with the intention to sell the internal components individually, after testing out the performance of course. However, I couldn't help notice that a couple of the components weren't up to the job of keeping the notoriously power hungry 220W power supply under control.
Today I want to discuss what I found inside this used machine and talk about the upgrades that could be made in order to get this system working safely.
Thanks for watching :)

[@RandomGaminginHD]

OK so I gave the 850 generic psu a go in a ryzen 2400g pc and it shut down after an hour. Not sure what to make of that but I'm glad I didn't use it here. Also, turns out the 550ti from this machine doesn't work :(

My guess is that the previous owner cannibalized the power supply and GPU to put in his next build, and tossed in a cheap PSU and GPU just to sell it.

[@dycedargselderbrother5353]

Yeah realistically who'd buy something like a 9590 which was never cheap and pair it with an at least two year old, $150 MSRP low-end video card? The 550 Ti was actually probably closer to $50-$75 street value by the time the 9590 was released. The 700 series was out by then, at least the high-end parts, and the still-last-gen GTX 650 cost slightly over $100 when it was new.

[@MyILoveMinecraft]

@@dycedargselderbrother5353 well.. When I build my pc in 2013 I initially had a 4770k in it and started up with a single GTX 770.

[@jakegarrett8109]

Lonnie Murray yep, and even my 4 phase mATX ($40 new in 2015) allows for similar high clocks. I had mine at 300w on the CPU (increase from the wall hitting Cinebench button) with a 120mm AIO, and it lasted for years doing some 24+ hour fluid simulations pegging it 100% and ran fine with $3 in VRM cooling mods. My board only allows up to 1.7Vcore, so it wasn’t able to fry when the CPU was sub-zero when I really wanted to push it (kinda disappointed...). Still does fine, it just won’t allow high enough voltage for liquid nitrogen or even my phase cooler (which I’ve used for testing long term effects of -60c over nearly a years span, nothing bad happened, not such story for GPUs though... the BGA solder on GPUs cracks from the cold thermal cycles...) It would VRM throttle around 180-220w CPU power (granted, I only had 1 case fan, and that was my 120mm AIO fab exhausting), but after adding 2x 40mm cheap fans and some hearsinks on the chokes it has no issues really pushing the power well beyond 300w for 24/7 full load (my case was quite frankly terrible... so that’s even more impressive!)

Intel? They’ve been setting fire to even $1,700 boards, melting the sockets and burning scorch marks on the chips with even water cooling and nothing real extreme. I’m shocked the 600w 7980XE (mild overclock on water, around 4.6 GHz for 600w and then it goes crazy high) doesn’t set boards on fire (maybe it does but I haven’t heard of it being a major problem like the 28 core, meanwhile Threadripper 32 core is super efficient and doesn’t melt boards even on LN2). One of the last comments someone sent me was they fried a 10 phase VRM on a typical 5 GHz 9900k overclock... damn... I pull more power on FX and still my 4 phase budget board was fine... it’s getting kinda insane on power draw over on team blue! It’s putting FX to shame, lol!

[@m.streicher8286]

@@jakegarrett8109 ok I'm gonna lay this out real simple. There are only a few 5.0ghz CPUs, practically at least. 7600k 7700k 8086k 9900k 8700k 2600k 2500k Fx9590 And maybe a few other Intel x or overclocked fx CPUs. Now this channel typically has old parts, that rules out 8700k and a few others, cheap parts, rules out the XE or X products. So really all that's left is the 2500k, 2600k, and 9590, which one of those uses litteraly double the power as the others? So as I said, "only one cpu this can be" And stop comparing an 18 core to an "8 core"/other CPUs that aren't 18 core CPUs, you make the rest of anyone who defends amd look stupid.

[@jakegarrett8109]

M.Streicher I was comparing it to 32 core Threadripper (which still uses less power when overclocked to beyond 4 GHz), plus any 8 core burning 10 phase boards in normal clocks is scary. But you’re saying there are few 5 GHz chips Except basically every Intel gen since 2nd gen (3rd gen did 5Ghz, same with 4th gen, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, I mean, basically any k series since a while!), and with FX added, that means basically half the CPUs since like the last 7 years... that’s basically all except Ryzen... so how is that a few chips?

PSU was 80+ Gold 750w and worked fine in another system, so that wasnt the issue. turns out they had a stupid memory configuration and a busted 1060, NOT as a result of the CPU/mobo choice. replaced the sticks with matching XMP 1866mhz DDR3 and installed his new GTX 1060 6gb and the thing fired up just fine. stable as all hell and quite the gaming beast. least i'd do is replace the PSU with a quality one and either drop that 4.7ghz overclock to something like 4.3ghz or just replace that cooler and some Kryonaut thermal paste wouldnt hurt. as long as that CPU stays cool, youll be golden. dont sell it either...im sure itll beat your current personal rig, that thing is a monster.

Definitely use the FX 9590! If not in this exact build, then maybe in another. Get it a proper motherboard, cooling, and a properly matched GPU and really see what the best AM3+ processor could do!

[@RaoulB.]

I'd love to see that 9590 modern performance !

[@Ben-tj2sc]

i got an i5 2500k with gtx 550ti pc from cex for £110

[@bogdanstroe7967]

Not bad, that i5 2500k holds up preety well. And it cand be ,,combined" with a better gpu if u want to upgrade in the future

[@nicknick4917]

Thats a really good CPU even for todays games.

[@andrewszombie]

"it blows up" really people?? Install circuit breakers in your house

[@EfuRe]

I've got a janky 9590 build with an h55 with upgraded fan, hits about 68c-70c under full load also got a fan pointing at the vrm heat sink that keep them nice and cozy. I really wonder how hot the vrm got on that 970 board?!

[@TheDoorsHK21]

I run two FX 9590s, one in a Gigabyte 990FXA-UD5 and another in an RoG Crosshair V Formula-Z. Both boards work flawlessly with my 9590s, even with minor overclocks to 5.1GHz.

[@patrickbateman3944]

Are you cooling them with liquid nitrogen?

stop seeking attention

[@selohcin]

Don't worry about the 9590. An overclocked FX-8350 or FX-8320 overclocked to 4.7 GHz would draw just as much power. Go ahead and use it! It'll be fine, if a little loud.

[@mannen659]

I upgraded my FX 8320 with GTX 1660S to R5 3600. I still kept my old FX PC because I loved it. Single-core games did not work so well, but with multi-thread, it still holds up with 2019 games. That old rustbucket grew up on me. :D

4:28 I was confused at first, but that earned a like!

You put power supply instead of CPU in your description btw. Great video!

[@dipak002]

I would like to see some benchmarks using the FX 9590. Please!

[@TheDivineRhythm]

I wanna see more of the 9590, could make for some interesting results.

[@alberot11]

i want to see that 9590 gaming of course:)

[@p05_]

do you know an alternative to cex as they closed in us and I've not found a place like it.

[@roxaeusderecho9959]

I had that motherboard for 3 years with a fx 8350, served me well. That board is known to run hot though, had to set voltages cause the auto settings allowed it to go too high with no performance gains

[@coolbits2235]

Eagerly awaiting to see the 9590 run in modern titles. You should test it with a 1080 Ti minimum and crank it up all the way. Also 16 GB Ram would be nice to remove any bottlenecks in memory.

[@lapislazz1551]

New Mobo, I really wanna see this performance in modern titles

[@webzterd]

I would have personally thought that the 220W going up in flames would have been viral worthy to see, the kid of things other channels talk about. Should have totally turned that on and fired up (pun intended) some intensive CPU tests.

[@elgato7557]

Just got that exact cpu and cooler and it's a beast

[@Schattennebel]

Strange, my ASUS "M5A97 EVO R2.0" Board Supports 140W CPUs, but why did this "Highend" Board just support 125W CPUs? Did I miss something?

[@MrSzero13]

YAY I LOVE THE 9590 ... I STILL USE MY 9590 :) but i leave it at 4.7 sometimes ill do 4.8 but 5.0 on my machine has alot of hiccups // but i do believe the 9590 still upholds for most the part to this day love the content !!! RGHD !!! sorry a few specs of my 9590 i use the 990FX sabertooth 2.0 asus board, and a 850 watt Antec psu bought afterwards since i use the Antec Twelvehundred case and i use the corsair H100i cooling .. and a R9 280x i used to have 2 in crossfire untill it became irrelevant

[@thevigilante8523]

I was always curious to see more 9550 5ghz benchmarks

[@teaser6089]

I sure want to see what the 9590 can do in 2019!

[@Spaceman-on9cg]

I still run my fx-9590 and it is still a beast. I love that CPU. It just needs a high quality, robust system to house it properly.

[@slaxyy3307]

The 9590 saves me hundreds on my heating bill per year

[@sushioverwatch1881]

We want to see it go boom first

[@tenminutetokyo2643]

That's a hell of a nice yard.

[@MissYou-nz8wf]

Upgrade the motherboard am3+ socket suitable for processor fx 9590
