ASUS Offers Full Support for AMD FX-9000 Series CPUs with Existing 990FX Boards

[brandonwh64]

I wouldn't even consider this an "enthusiasts" chip due to the fact that it comes right out of the box 5ghz and already to most boards limits and even with a higher end board, OCing would be maxed after 200 more MHZ due to power issues. To beat it all hardwarecanuks review shows it looses to the STOCK 4770K in gaming 8 out of 10 tests. newegg.com is selling this CPU for 900$ while a 4770K is 339.99$

It works fine on that board.

Thanks for testing, I do send an email to ASUS for BIOS update and they say it's unsupported. I just like to have latest CPU microcode and AGESA version that's all I got BIOS update fetish

My lowly FX-8320 works at FX-9590 base clock anyway with air cooling so there's no need to spend crazy money for these new FX-9k series

It has been mentioned in many many threads already hardwarecanucks chip was not running at full speed. The chip was throttling either due to VRM's or temps. That review and a couple others show throttling.

Any board that will post with an 8350 will post with a 9590/9370. Same microcode between the two chips.

Nice. Time to upgrade and I already have a 1200w PSU. I hope my Zalman 9900FX cooler will work ok.

hi all this is my rig

sabertooth 990fx rev 1 mobo
12 gig corsair dom ram
1090t 6 core cpu
dual nvidia gtx 550's
aywun 650w psu

I am thinking about buying a 9370 cpu.

Will this run a 9370 cpu with liquid cooling or is there anything i would need to upgrade majorly?????????

 

[cdawall]

The no name psu.

like cdawall said, that psu isn't branded which means itll be weak. something decent would do better like seasonic, xfx, antec or corsair anything around 850watt would do

The no name psu.

I think it translates to I-won! lol

 

[cdawall]

A solid 650-750w would be fine for the current components

 

[Satansshadow]

what do u mean by a branded psu?????

 

[Satansshadow]

cdawall the solid 650-750w is that to run what ive already got or to run the 9370cpu in what ive got??????

 

[d1nky]

what do u mean by a branded psu?????

branded, means something made by a decent manufacturer with good components

antec, corsair, seasonic, xfx (to name a few)

cdawall the solid 650-750w is that to run what ive already got or to run the 9370cpu in what ive got??????

its to run the 9370, but if you plan on a full custom loop I would get something slightly bigger.

 

[Satansshadow]

I do have a thermaltake lite 700w psu, would that be good enough or would I need a psu from the previously mention brands????

 

[cdawall]

Should be fine

it should be ok. im not too sure on the rails/quality of the thermaltake but a lot of people on here use em.

I was typing before i saw someone answered lol

 

[Satansshadow]

Ok so the thermaltake lite 700w should be fine to run the 9370 CPU with my rig now because I've got the sabertooth should I try and get the thermal armour to help spread any excessive heat produce by the CPU or won't it make a difference?????
