Wanting to upgrade a few parts in my PC, I need help deciding.

[AyyMD]

Amd supplies and recommends liquid cooling for fx-9590. There is some really sound reasoning behind that.

OP is going to do this only his way, and will get an expensive lesson("lesson" if he learns) from it.
That 970 le is a joke. Vrms get hot as hell with a stock 8350.

I doubt he will take any advice from you guys.

I don't have the LE, I have the regular M5A97 R2.0.

And if it does, I'll know to replace it and I'll come crawling back here.

there is some people that just fail and fail and then blame some for their decisions....
listen what others are trying to tell you ...

if not .. still on the other forum you were and trust every crap they say....

I was told by both OC.net and TH to not buy the R1 Universal for my CPU, which is worse than all the coolers I listed (not sure about the be quiet! though). Do you have any experience with that Thermaltake case?
Just looked at the case, and holy shit, it supports a ridiculous amount of fans (mobo can't even support all my current fans though). Looks nice too.

i dont know what means "worse" or "better" i look at the numbers http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/CRYORIG/R1_Universal/6.html
as for the case i have core v1 (mini itx in core XX line) and i am very pleased with build quality and assembly options it offers.
if you can handle X5's dimensions (its foot print is bigger then standard tower) and price you wont sorry for your choice. the only "negative" thing about it IMO is that it comes with 120mm front fan instead of 200mm one. i am planing to move 2 of my home pcs in 2 stacked X5's but later cause i have to make some space management at home before i can use em the way i'd like. now i have cm trooper and haf 932. haf is good case with a lot of space and good air flow capabilities but its lack of filters cause it to dump inside every piece of dust in my home (despite everyday cleaning dust is part of my environment and is beyond my control atm :/)

I'm going off of TweakTown, not TPU. I like the stacking feature of the Thermaltake cases.

quite bold to post temps with 2 digits after decimal but lets pretend we havent noticed and look at TT numbers

similar results too
for any air cooler that can keep it up or even in some cases beats 240mm aio i can only say

OP do you plan to overclock at all? If so skip the cheap boards they will not hold up with the 8350. Get a used crosshair V formula or sabertooth rev 2 if you want to pay less and get a board that will actually overclock comfortably with one of the AMD "8" cores.



It benches in multithreading with a CPU clocked 1.5ghz slower while using 2-3x as much power. A 5820K with an overclock sits even with my PAIR of 4.6ghz 12 core opterons.

Yes, thank you for confirming my point. My power bill will now be 25 cents more a year now that I don't own an Intel

The Crosshair V is garbage and uses low quality MOSFET. As soon as mine is back from RMA it's being sold. Google "Fried Crosshair formula V"

Crosshair v formula-z if you notice I didn't say to get the z. There is reason behind that.

Sorry about that man. Didn't see that.

Sorry about that man. Didn't see that.

They hold up ok with active cooling and repasting the mosfet cooler. Cheap or not they are still higher amp than almost any other board out there.
