Review on AMD FX 9590 Desktop Processor FD9590FHHKWOF by Patrick Diaz

Revainrating 5 out of 5

High performance for the price

This is the best CPU I have ever used. It's fast and inexpensive. Specifications require liquid cooling. I have Enermax LIQMAX II 120S. It is installed as in the picture, one fan sucks in the air and the other pushes it out. Despite this, the processor warmed up almost to the maximum. I am using this processor with an ASUS AM3+ M.2 USB3.1 SafeSlot AMD ATX motherboard (TUF Sabertooth 990FX R3.0) and two sets of G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-pin SDRAM DDR3 1866 ( PC3 14900) Desktop Memory F3-1866C9D-16GXM . It literally takes about 24 seconds from the moment I press the power button until I can use my computer. Loading the same software, firmware, etc. took about 3 minutes on my build from last year. This had an 8-core AMD FD8320FRHKBOX FX-8320 Series FX Black Edition, 2 sticks of 1600 and I forgot what model the motherboard was. Both builds use the same 960GB SSD from PNY. This processor has contributed to an enormous improvement.

Pros
