AMD to release new FX processor (with AIO)

[TRWOV]

HardwareCanucks - AMD to Launch "New" FX-9590 CPU

Bummer... ok, 8350, here I come.

 

[buildzoid]

that board can supply 100w.. its not that good..

It has 4 phases for the CPU core each rated at 40A on the MOSFETS the chokes I would guess support 25A to 35A. I would trust this board to run an Athlon II X4 760K at 1.6V. I have run an Athlon II X2 370K on it at 5.1Ghz with 1.75V on that board and that chip was pulling at least 128W and the VRM was just fine. It's too bad my A10-6800K died because that would probaly get to about 200W at 1.75V. Even at 250W using 1.75V the VRM should be fine because because that would only be 142A of current on a VRM rated for 160A.

BTW: I don't mind blowing the board up in the name of science so if someone would be willing to send me a quad core FM2 chip that they don't mind getting back as a keychain(my favorite use for dead CPUs) I would be very happy to feed it 1.75V at 5Ghz to see if I can kill this board.

i should have said support not supply its been pointed out to me lol.

Well most 990FX boards on supported 125W CPUs until the 9590 came out. Then they all got spec sheet updates to support 220W CPUs.
Really I wish companies would stop spouting marketing crap about their VRM and just give a list of components(MOSFETS, chokes, PWM controller) they used or the maximum supported current. Would make my life a lot easier since looking up datasheets for semi custom MOSFETS and PWM controllers is a giant pain in the ass.

What if it is just a 9590 rereleased with a cooler from astec (or whoever did the 295x2) and a 0.2Ghz bump? I hope for more but leave it to amd.

They didn't even add the Ghz. Dang it AMD.

You have dashed my hopes quite expertly. I will now proceed to express my feelings.
WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY AMD WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY WOULD YOU DO THIS.

okay, maybe I'm looking at this wrong. People, including myself, would love a cpu that stock can hit 5 GHz. I'm interested in making a stock bad ass gaming rig and this processor is all you can hope for. I don't think any intel can hit 5ghz without special means of cooling. I feel the heat is necessary to hit those frequencies. My next rig may feature one of these.

Not buying it. Why would new motherboards be released for a previously released processor with a what cooler included...?

Subbed for a good read and possible new cpu from the red side

Why, when an Intel chip at 4.5ghz is still faster and less power consuming.

I can answer that one

Because the terrible old designs barely run 83xx chips unless you got the super deluxe 300$ versions of the 9xx boards, a "220W" 5ghz cpu will likely fry any old 970 or cheaper 990 board.

The reason I quote 220W is that rating only applies if you have AMD power management on, without downclocking cores and reducing voltage FX cpu's will pull over their respective stock TDP running AVX linpac.
This caused issues for MB MFG's a while back.

I heard they were goingvto have FM2+ Fx parts ala 760K

None of the boards have ports for onboard video, I fail to see the point of APU's on AM3+

 

[eidairaman1]

You read it wrong

 

[Batou1986]

You read it wrong

oh you mean FX chips on FM2 ? that would be useful to some.

 

[d1nky]

just a 9590 with an aio?!

dafuq AMD you could of made a better climax!!

ou wont be running that cpu on a 4+1 whats a 12+2 board cost any way?

12+2 ... i have a 6+2 on my M5A99X and it could support a 9590 ...

from: http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/ASUS/M5A99X_EVO/13.html

• VRM capable of 275W, near double AMD CPU TDPs

and a slight marge to OC technically but iirc the CPU is not in supported list and on the next board i will have (ASRock 990FX FK) 8+2 should also handle it but again not listed in CPU support unlike the ASRock 990FX Extreme 9 who is a 12+2 but if a 6+2 VRM are capable to hold 275W a 8+2 should too

and price of a 12+2 well 169$ quite cheap tho compared to launch price ...

[TheoneandonlyMrK]

Well what an anti climax amd are finally selling a 9590 the everyman can use easily , this should have been out day 1 and isn't worthy of my further attention or any prior for that matter.

 

[ne6togadno]

I can give you a list of like 10 990fx (Pretty much every 990FX board on Newegg) boards that can overclock and AMD chip with out issues. You don't have a clue. Its been an obvious trend these last few years that AMD chips are indeed more power consuming, so congrats on stating the obvious.

You tend to just get the cheapest stuff you can and hope it works, because your wife won't let you get the nice stuff.

seems to say that this cpu can suck up 328w of power at 100% load..
Id hate to see what it does over clocked (although really it is just factory over clocked any way so i dont see much head room in it for the avarage user)
but $170 isnt that bad i guess for a 12+2 so i suppose it could work out.

Really think they should have actually done more to make the thing have a lower tdp rather than just slap an aio in the box. they really need to drop the tdp down by 100w or so to make this cpu attractive to me. I like fast. I love to over clock. but i dont want my fans running at 100% at stock speeds idle just to stay under 50c.
and really if it takes 2x the power to perform the same as an intel equivalent then its becoming quite a lot more expensive to run "atleast where i am" its suprizing how much money a week we saved in this house changing from the oc'd q6600 running 24/7 to an oc i5-2500k running 24-7. In the usa and even ireland this would not really be noticable. but here we are saving enough so the wife even commented on the savings.

I think the Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P probably use 40A or 30A mosfets and has 8 of them for the core so that board would be fine for running a 9590. I have the ASUS 990FX-EVO so I'll have a look at what the VRM is actually like and post here about it.

BTW rating VRMs in watts is complete BS since what actually causes the heating and explosions is current.
