AMD FX-9590 + MSI GAMING 970

Will this combo work together ?
can we consider msi gaming 970 as a High end motherboard ?

Wich of these amd prossesor's would be the best choice ?

Thanks for all answears

preciate it ^^,

thats properly not going to work.
The highend chipset is 990FX and theres only a few MB's that support the power FX-9590 needs to work. Such as Asus Sabertooth and Gigabyte also has a few

The only 970 board which claims 220WATT CPU support is the Asrock 970 Fatality

is the AMD FX-8370E the next best then ?
And whats the diffrence between E and black edition ? i know e i 3.3 ghz and black edition 4.0 ghz

Ebo · Apr 5, 2015

The E type consumes a bit less power. thats all.
I would go for a Fx-8350, it can run almost as fast as the 9590

Batou1986 · Apr 5, 2015

I would say make a better investment in an i5 and a z97 board and not have to worry about burning out VRM's with 220+w cpus that don't perform.

okey.

what about the FX-8370 Black edition then ? compared to fx-8350.

Any suggestions on what SDD2.5 i should get ?

The FX8370-E Operates at 3.3ghz, that's why it has a lower TDP but it can turbo up to 4ghz :ohwell:

The FX8370 is pretty much a FX8350, Both operate at 4ghz but the 8370 turbo's to 4.3ghz while the 8350 turbo's to 4.2ghz, nothing special.

If I were you I would do what Ebo mentioned & get an FX8350 & overclock it a bit provided that you can spare some dosh for a decent CPU cooler or go with Batou1986's idea & get an Intel platform.

At that point it would draw a ton of power too. If he is going to overclock it a ton he needs one of the high wattage boards.

I would go intel.

Whenever looking for a compatible CPU, you should ALWAYS check the motherboard's website for the QVL - qualified vendors list - to see which CPU are compatible with that specific board.

Your CPU QVL can be found here.

Based on your system specs, I see you already have the MSI 970 gaming board. If you want a CPU upgrade then go with the 8370E, I believe its also unlocked like the 8350 and will overclock equally to 4.4 minimum (ymmv).

Best upgrade would be to get a better video card, I would say get the NVidia 970 and probably a SSD.

Countryside · Apr 6, 2015

If you really want 9590 then you should buy ASrock 990fx extreme9 :toast:

If you buy MSI970 go with 8350

Well I have seen people put a FX 9590 inside the MSI Gaming 970, however from what I have heard while it will work it is not recommended because the VRM's get very hot and in some cases have throttled. Even with an extra fan blowing on it, I would not recommend it for fear of losing in longevity of the board. I would recommend the FX 8350 or 70 and overclocking to the high levels of 4.5ghz without seeing any problems. You could also grab the FX 9370 which would probably max out the board and you could even put a higher base clock on it without to much concern though I would have a fan blowing on the VRM heatsinks it you could to help.

The 6+2 Phase setup is ok on the board but its just not going to be the king overclocking board for this platform.

VulkanBros · Apr 6, 2015

I have been running the FX-9590 on a Sabertooth 990FX R2 since nov, 2013 - rock stable an overclockable

landstad · Apr 14, 2015

I see the AMDFX 8370E 3.3 ghz, can overclock quite smooth, and high vaulves, saw one up to 5.1ghz

are that one a better choice than te "AMDFX 8370 4ghz" version.

Is it better to have a cpu that runs on less Wattage, example 95w rather than 125w ?

any thoughts ?

suraswami · Apr 14, 2015

If you are going to keep stock then yes the 95w will run cooler and consume bit less power. If you are overclocking then either one doesn't matter (though I have heard the 95w clocks better).

Either way, after you install it, join the FX owners club and you can get lot of inputs on how to OC that FX.

FX @ 4.2 to 4.4 is good for gaming as well as 'sane' power consumption. More than that I don't see any benefits.

thanks man
Okey...
do any other have some thougths?

What do you use the machine for? Do you really need 8 cores? Games certainly won't use 8 Cores, so if you are mainly gaming, I'd actually suggest an FX-6300. From the website you posted it is quite a bit cheaper than the FX-8000 CPUs. But you'll probably be able to clock the FX-6300 higher than any of the FX-8000 CPUs with your current board and cooler. And for gaming, the higher clock speed with 6 cores is much better than a lower clock speed with 8 cores.

Mostly gaming, maybee some streaming. my thougths are If i'm gonna buy, I want the best. Overkill...
price does not bother me. no worries on that subject.

usefull info. i'll consider buying fx 6000 series.

I'm also planing on to get a better gpu, that will work with the g-sync monitor's. Think i've asked this question before some where can't quite remember. i'm hopeless... haha

any thougths ? r9 290x ? gtx 970/80 ?

Then obviously you should get the Gigabyte GV-N980X3WA-4GD GTX 980. And for a limited time only, you get a Free Acer 27” G-Sync Monitor with purchase.

Johan45 · Apr 15, 2015

New tekkie has it right, if you're using the 970 and not water cooling you'll do better at gaming with the 6xxx chips. Less heat and power draw so you "should" be able to clock it a bit higher.

Potatoking · Apr 15, 2015

FX-6xxx wotn perform any better than your 1100t.
Get a better GPU first

I probably would try the new GPU first.

When I upgraded my X6 1045T to FX 8320 I was also in the same dilemma, but BF3 and BF4 really benefited with FX. Now I am running the FX 8350 with a better board with the same video card and no issues. Now a days no time to play games, so will hold on to this setup for a while.
