Heres my setup so far (parts that matter anyway)
Asus Crosshair V Formula NOT THE FORULA Z
AMD FX 8150
16GB Corsair ram
Antec 850 watt PSU
Antec 1200
Corsair H80i cooling
I hear that I can put the 9590 chip into this board provided I have the latest firmware. I'm not much of a gamer anymore but I am currently converting all my dvd's and blu rays into mp4's for a HTPC setup. Encoding seems to take forever. I've overclocked this as best as I can up to 4 ghz and higher no matter what I do and it will crash or anomalies happen. I'm convinced its the chip itself. Stock speeds it runs fine. If there is truth to me being able to put the 9590 in this board and having it work, is my cooling solution going to be enough?
Are there any other issues I would need to worry about? Would there even be any noticeable performance gains?
I ask because I have a line on a NIB 9590 for an insanely low price.
