Question by Steve J Will my old Gigabyte GA-970a-Ds3 board support this cpu??? Answer by declant on Monday, May 9, 2016

Hi Steve,



Unfortunately, this model does not support the motherboard in question.

Will this work by Eddie Will this cpu work with this motherbord 55019. What air cooling fan would you recommend with this cpu. And will 600w be enough for this cpu with this graphics card 61860. Thanks Answer by shaund on Wednesday, November 11, 2015

Hi Eddie,



You would most likely need to update the BIOS on any 990fx motherboard you purchase for this chip, the one you have selected is perfectly fine however, for this chip I would heavily recommend getting a water cooler (H80i minimum) but if you want to go down the air cooler path I would say the be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 3 is your best choice. The graphics card and PSU will be totally fine as well.

Compatability by Matthew would this processor (AMD (Piledriver) FX-9590) be a suitable match with MSI Radeon R9 390 GAMING AMD Graphics Card 8GB and ASUS SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0 AMD 990FX Answer by shaund on Wednesday, November 4, 2015

Hi Matthew,



That chip would be a fine match, make sure you have sufficient cooling for this chip however, a Corsair H80i is the minimum water cooler required for smooth operation whereas the be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 3 is the minimum Air cooler required.

Comment by Mr K If I ordered one how long would it take to arrive and also i have an 8350 i bought from you clocked at 4.8 ,would this be an upgrade and do you know of any headroom in them given warranties clearly dont worry me, i lapped the 8350.

Hi,



All of our items have next day delivery, as long as the order is placed before 5pm, in terms of an upgrade the 9590 is really just a retail overclocked CPU, at it's core it's close to an 8320 but given a very high clock speed.
