What CPU should I go with?

[FedEx]

Hello Steam friends!!!

So after much testing, I have finally figured out that my CPU is overheating, I have a FX 8350 with stock cooler, temps have been a issues in the past, but nothing a good dust out and re paste didnt fix. In the last few weeks I have noticed my CPU temps creeping higher then norm, getting all the way up to 80c, after siting up there for a bit my Rig will freez or Auto shut down, so far the only game that managed to get my CPU temps that high is Dark Souls 3. So rather then buying a after market cooler I have decided that I will just upgrade my CPU.

So should I go with the FX 9590 or the FX 8370? From what I have researched the 9 series gets rediculesly hot, and more or less has to have water cooling, there is a box version with the chip solo and one with a stock water cooler.

Or should I go with the 8370? It comes with a very nice wraith stock cooler that is said to match the very pop Cool master 212.

I have just been reading lots of bad things about the rediucles amout of heat that the 9 series puts out, and it seems to me the preformance vs headech this could cause ratio just isnt right.

What you do guys think? I forsure want to stick with AMD

Thanks for your help Steam Friends!!! Feel Free to add my to Friends!!! I dont bite!!!

You're happy with the performance of the 8350? Does it still work? Then just get a decent (air-) cooler.

Upgrading your CPU doesn't make any sense whatsoever, you just gonna end up with the same problem.

Invest in a good CPU cooler. Upgrading your CPU with one of those won't reap signifigant gains.

Put a 212evo on the FX8350 bump up the clocks 4.4-4.5ghz and call it a day.

The 8350 should have an after market cooler on it anyway the stock coolers are a joke.

Stay away from the FX9xxx because you've already got an FX8350.

Anything in the 83XX series or higher is really the same chip with different speeds

Thanks for reply, I think your right, the more I look into the 9 the more it just dosent seem worth it, dam thing just gets to hot for minimal if any preformance gain.

id prefer you come to intel get a lga 1151 skylake setup or a lga 1150 setup there will be no bottlenecking. that chip will bottleneck any new cards (bottlenecking = gpu runs faster than cpu and your gpu has to wait for the cpu to catch up)

or if you like amd stuff upgrade to a zen setup when it comes.

Hyper212-EVO is really not that great for an OC'ed 8350 (stock or manually set to 4.2Ghz w/ Turbo and CnQ Disabled, sure)

There are better coolers than Hyper212, for some-what cheap

what mobo do you have?

if its a poor mobo, overclocking or tower cooler can result in lower performance

Say what now? Seriously, you just made that up...

Get a good Noctua Heatsink and Fan combo for that beast of a chip!

If you have a ♥♥♥♥ mobo that can only pull 100w and you plug in a massive Noctua with 2 fans that pull 25w each, how much does that leave for your CPU?

First off, PC fans don't pull that much ever... most 12 or 14 cm fans are around 0.05 - 0.09 amps; that's approx 0.6 - 1.1 W per fan, and that would be the power at max RPMs too.

And 2nd, the Motherboard never works like that. Fan Headers, USB, they all have their own power. The CPU is by itself in that TDP rating... the Motherboard can pull all the power it wants to from other sources, as needed.

Given your statement, I don't think you even have a clue about how it works.

if you have mobo with poor vrm config, and add a tower cooler it will vrm throttle sooner

That shouldn't be an issue too much if OP gets a cooler that allows you to raise or lower the position of the fan. Like the fan on the Hyper 212 for example, but other coolers should do it as well.

Simply mount the fan slightly lower so that the air can pass across the vrm heatsink (if the board has any)

If the board lacks vrm cooling completely, the OP should consider adding some small heatsinks.

Its not a massive upgrade anyway, to either the 8370 or the FX9 series, not to mention the fact that there aren't many motherboards out there that can handle the FX9 series either.

A new cooler for your current CPU would fix your overheating issue, my recommendation would be the Cryorig H7, which doesn't often cost a lot more than the 212 evo, yet outperforms it.

Since when ^ ?

I've got the older cm212plus/10xOptima/tuniq tower/vendetta2 all running on amd cpus.

The old tuniq tower 120 with the FX8350 gaming hovers around 40-45c, the 10xOptima is loud with the shark fin fan style and really doesn't cool much better.

.1 diff ^ from the evo but the zalman has to have an 80cfm fan on it.

212evo/H7/10x Optima all hover around each other and all will be more than sufficient to overclock an FX8350 to 4.4ghz no problems.

https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/CRYORIG/H7_Universal/6.html

The H7 ^ is it ball breaking different no ^. Either would do just depends on eithers current pricing.

To say the 212evo is not that great for a stock or overclocked FX8350 is pure exaggeration.

Ps, the 212evo is only $25.
