Will this keep my FX 9590 8 core processer cool while gaming? I have an issue with overheating while gaming.

Worked for my I7-3770K - make sure you install it such that the airflow works within your case. I can't remember how to check but I think it had something to do with the direction of the cooler master logo - I think the ideal setup is to have the airflow exiting out of the rear of the PC. Idle temps around 40, load at 50-60.

From what I have researched about the 9590 only water cooling will keep it where you want it to stay. Now I will say this cooler is works extremely well for the price but that specific processor is known for over heating. I would say this cooler may possibly work with the 9590 at its regular clock, but who would dish out money for that bad boy and not wanna see its limits.

It may get in the upper 60-70C range, this is by no means a performance cooler, the FX-9XXX series chips were made for liquid cooling, a better option would be a high performance nactua air cooler, or a 120/140mm all in one cooler, AMD ships the 9XXX cards from the factory with water coolers because of the 220w TDP, meaning you have to get a cooler that can dissipate 200+ watts of power and heat. The best bet if you need to fix an immediate problem is to get a super cheap air cooler and underclock then processor to 3.5-4.0ghz, then save up for a liquid cooling setup so you can run the chip how it was meant to run. Sorry for the long question, I just didn't want to see someone burn a chip over an incorrect comment.

Maybe, but i would recommend a different cooler many one that has at least a 120mm fan. I replaced mine a few months after I bought it due to high temps and I was not even over clicking my i5-4670k.

Idle temperatures are around 45-55C on mine. Maxing it out on Prime95 brings it up to about 80C, which is kind of hot, but not "OMG the CPU is going to overheat" hot.

I will say no. I'm currently using the biggest Bequiet heatsink with two (1 120mm and 1 140mm) and it still idles at 45 and goes up to 60 - 65 degrees when playing BF3

Mine shut down from overheating too and it cools VERY well. The cooling does not seem to be the issue with this device. But the fan on mine broke after only a month. And the wire got caught in the fan. It's simply poorly designed. But cools very well.

This has XFXs custom cooler, not the reference design. In my case, I see temps around 80 degrees C at load.

It depends I suppose. Like I stated in my comment, my laptop primarily overheats when gaming. Overheats so bad that it actually turns off my laptop, haha.. This cooling pad has definitely ceased that, and it doesn't get as hot as it used to. It still gets warm-hot at certain times though, but I think that's normal for laptops. Other than gaming, it keeps my laptop cool-warm when I browse the internet, or do what I have to do on the computer. So does it effectively cool it? I would say yeah and no, since it depends on what you're doing.

In the overview it says the fan turns off when not needed. The powersupplies does not put out the heat others do. Best bet for better ansewer go to the Amazon site under the Corsair HX Professional series 750, and look in the overview it will go over it better than I can. THanks for wrightting. Randy PS I relay like mine a lot.

I haven't experienced any heat issues. I have an Intel i5 3570k overclocked to 4.2gHz being cooled with a the Antec Kuhler single rad closed water cooling system venting out the top. I swapped the fan out for a pressure optimized Noctua. My suggestion is to not try to air cool your CPU with this case. I'm also running two GTX 660s and an EVGA 750w PSU. The PSU vents out the bottom of the case, so it doesn't really matter that its covered. Its just more aesthetically pleasing. Just be sure to set it on a hard surface and not carpet or else it's going to suffocate. Worth mentioning that this case runs decently quiet with the stock fans as well.

I used the stock intel fan cooler that came with my E6300 when I replaced it with the E8600. No problems with overheating and I do not anticipate any. Hope this helps.

It does generate a lot of heat and occasionally the fan will speed up to cool the CPU. I don't know if it overclocks itself, have never checked but given the heat it puts out normally I wouldn't be surprised if it might overheat. Wouldn't be my first choice for a gaming PC. Otherwise, it is crisp, powerful and solid.

If you are using it for a serious gaming machine, it may shut down from overheating itself.Otherwise it seemed to cool itself fine.

I use a Cool Master with heat conductors on top of my CPU. I use this CPU for gaming and I never see it above 61 degrees. (Variable: On top of desk in a well air current room.)

the stock heat sink that comes with this cpu is JUNK throw it away and buy something like a cooler master hyper 212 EVO this heat sink will keep your cpu much cooler

Make sure that there is a good airflow. I installed an extra fan in the side of my PC and so far its good. Cases with PSU on the bottom seem to have more issues with overheating if psu is blowing inside

It can run pretty hot, but I've never had any performance issues from overheating. If you're really that worried about it, buy a cheap cooling pad. Mine cools it down easily even while gaming.

This is a very high performance processor so it tends to run hot. I have been installing it with a Corsair water cooling system. They are not expensive, they are easy to install and are very reliable.

Hi there,Yes Sir, no problem at all.Alot of people will tell you that this processor is a beast of a CPU (true), but also that beadt will run smoothly with any liquid cooler (open or closed loop) in case of normal clocking. However, if you would like to unleash the full capacity of the beast then you should need a beast of a cooler to cool ot down.I hope i was useful.Regards, Ahmed E
