Probably, you can refer to an article here FX8350 overclocked to 5ghz. Though it's not a FX-9590, but the guy tried to overclock FX-8350 to 5ghz to catch a glimpse what performance level will FX-9590 come to offer compare to 4770K and 3770K.







The result is impressive, looking forward for it.

Apparently A10-5800k can be paired with HD7750..

Has anyone else tested this?

interesting...
from the video show, he is using DD3-1866 matched with GDDR5 HD7750 card.
will think about getting HD7750 card, as I already have the other 2. how much now?

It's been a couple of weeks since I been changing from Phenom II 955 @ 3.6GHz with the lowly FX-4100 @ 4.7GHz and lemme tell you something about it.

Most benchmark tells this is way slower than Phenom II, for example in Cinebench 11.5 my Phenom II @ 3.6GHz got 4.46 CPU ranking, while FX-4100 clocked at 5GHz only reach measly 4.07, same story in 3DMark06 CPU score and some other benchmarks where it lags behind the former.

But in an actual games I felt this is faster, in Serious Sam 3 for example framerate were consistent at 60fps even in heavy fights, on Phenom it will occasionally drops to below playable level. I'm truly surprised! In Skyrim too I thought this CPU will fail, but no, gameplay were smooth as butter. Same goes with other CPU heavy games like GTAIV and Starcraft II.

Still, unless you got a good motherboard, love overclocking or using old Athlon or triple or dual core Phenoms, I don't recommend for upgrade especially when you have quad core or hexa core Phenom II. But if you asked me, overclocking this FX is LOT of fun, haven't have this much fun since old Sempron s754 and Northwood Pentium 4 overclocking where they could reach 1GHz overclock easily And this is only old Bulldozer based FX-4100, if you aiming for FX line I would recommend Vishera based FX-6300 as a bare minimum for an upgrade.

For Bulldozer, Piledriver CPU owner it's worth to download and install this.

AMD FX9590 KitGuru Review

Why even bother releasing it at all?

To be the 1st 5 jigahertz processor on the market.

Is this confirm? A10 5800k can dual graphic with 7750. I thought maximum is 6670.

AMD Kaveri Delayed

as everyone already know, next major change for APU will be allow unified memory between system memory and GPU memory (used in PS4 & XB1). really interested to how it's applied on Desktop PC retail channel model. but now, have to wait until next year April.


Asus A88XM-A




Asus A55BM-A/USB3

I hope AMD won't abandon the FX series chip. I am still waiting for a Steamroller FX chip to appear on the am3+ platform

The chance is slim, AMD want to focus more on APU/HSA.

so waste la to wait new fx or.. hmmm

So I guess my last bet will be the FX8350 chip from AMD

I thought there are still the AMD FX 9370 and 9590?

But the TDP is scary.....AMD website rated those 2 above at 220W @@

The FX 8350 was like 125W TDP only

The price for 9590 is crazy expensive and is not available for retail purchase.

Yeah I have checked reviews on the 9590, crazy expensive

hi all, first and foremost...i just bought mobo and proc. what i want to know and make sure is..does AMD FX 8320 can be used out of the box pair with Asus M5A99X Evo R2.0?

yesterday when i assembled everything into place, i cant get anything power up.. and even more puzzled me when i tried with my Phenom II X4 955 BE, it doesnt power up as well. if power supply issue, i dont think so because i can still power up previously with my other mobo (GA-780T-USB3 with Phenom II X4 955 BE).

issit the mobo really rosak or what? i heard that some mobo need to flash a new bios version or firmware upgrade in order to use or support the said proc..

pls advise...pls dont say i waste my dough for lousy mobo

The ASUS M5A99X EVO motherboard already has AM3+ support out of the box and it should support your AMD FX-8320 processor

Emanyshie, u sure you've plugged in all the power connectors onto the mobo? Also, is there any clearance between your mobo and casing? The back of the mobo must not touch the casing else it won't power up.
