will this adequately cool a AMD FX-9590 CPU?

I have no experience with that cpu. I'm running the intel 4770 k at 4.2 ghz I have it looped through an asus maximus iv formula mobo so it's pushing twice the route that it is designed for. benchmark is 984 at 86 degress Celsius. I think the only better option is the koolance stand alone unit but it's pricey

Hey Joseph, if you purchase the proper cooling block to go with your AMD FX-9590,which is the same processor I just purchased, yes it shouldn't be a problem at all.

I have this running on a 9590 currently, and it does a decent job. I range between 27-47C. I had a different setup before with dual inline radiators, but I have not had the time to get this setup implemented again.

Yes, This thing is a beast. Although if you are overclocking and are worried about heat you can always pick up and additional 280mm radiator with four fans for excessive cooling.

I am using it for gaming with an I7 4790 running at stock speeds. I am just using air cooling with a cooler master 212. Even when running pretty demanding video games and second monitor it is still only hitting mid to high 30's. I think you could probably even play 3d games fine with stock heat sink if you don't mind the noise.

it should do just fine. if you experience overheating get you a little cooling fan for it.

Yes, but I would buy an aftermarket cooler. the Included heat sink doesn't move enough air and the CPU will commonly exceed 100*C

No not without fan for sure. I tried a 2 inch thick 5 inch diameter cpu cooler with no fan and within 3 minutes it (the heat sink) is hot enough to melt your skin if you touch it. With enough air flow and a cooler ambient temperature (I would say roughly 70 Deg F./ 23 Deg C ) you might be fine.

Yes it will. It cools so well my computer is cold to the touch all the time. The only thing is the two pieces of plastic that keep the computer on the stand break very easily. I have two of these and both of them have broken stops. So the performance is great and the durability not so good. I have owned mine for almost a year and they are both running.

The included fan is a 3-pin. And it is quite loud. I replaced it with a 4-pin pwm (with equivalent size and air flow) from Cooler Master. It is much quiter, but this cooler only performs OK for the amount of money I spent in total. Luckily that build will not be overclocked, and I can be happy with the definite improvement over the stock part. It will cool your fx-8350 according to the specs on the box, but I would not use this on a high performance CPU like yours over something like the CM Hyper 212 unless your case cannot fit a tall heatsink.

I have it installed on my i7 4790k. I absolutely love it! it will benefit the noise in your PC (runs quiet) and will keep your CPU cool very efficiently. Definitely worth it

This case will provide plenty of airflow to help cool your processor. Just make sure you have a good cooler to pair it with if you plan to overclock it.

Depends how far you intend to push the CPU. These guys run pretty hot, and the stock cooler does a fair job under a moderate load. I went with a Rosewill cooler that was fairly cheap and pushes a lot of air, handles things decently but it's noisy. I've heard of people having really good results with Corsair's liquid coolers, which are of course a bit pricier.

I'd do a little more research, but right off I see that TigerDirect is selling a build with the fx 9590 and your liquid cooler bundled at this link http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=9168311it also seems to have a high star rating.I personally chose the Cooler Master Nepton 280L and it works wonderfully, havn't had an issue with it yet, and been running it about a year now.

No room for a fan from what I remember. Stick with a low TDP Haswell/Ivy Bridge CPU and it will be fine.

yes i run AMD FX4300 and it is a 95watt cpu. its a great board for a tight budget

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.

You need a larger and more powerful cooling system to deal with the FX9590 is reasonable

I would say a sound no, as this cooler is rated for a 70 watt TDP, and the FX-8350 is rated as a 125w processor. I got a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo for my 8350, and it works great. I recommend buying a cooler that's rated for a 125w TDP processor from any vendor, including Arctic, Cooler Master, Zalman, Noctua, etc.

It keeps my 4670k around 40 to 50 degrees Celsius under load. It should keep your 9590 in about the same temp range because I always run mine in the silent preset in the software. You'll probably hit spike of 60 to 70 degrees just because that cpu is the hotter than sun though.
