Anyone use the Antec KUHLER H2O 650 on an fx 9590 if underclocked to 4GHz? Or recommend a cooler in the $60 range?

How does it do? Thinking about this or recommend a cooler in the $60 range that will handle the 9590.
This will be underclocked probably to 4.0 to 4.5GHz, because my pops isn't going to get a serious water setup, only my system has that

Ended up getting a good deal on two 9590's so, set my dad up with one as well. Right now I have it on a cheapo air cooler but it's underclocked to 1.38v and 2.8GHz, that way it doesn't go over 56c on prime.

You need at the very least a 240 mm AIO. Even that is sketchy. $60 will buy you nothing that will even remotely work.

Ayup! You need something that can cool 1.55 vcore. What you need starts in the $120 range.

I manually set my vcore to 1.45 and core clock to 4.7ghz and i use an antech kuhler 920 with some corsair fans that can go up to 2500rpm and it keeps it steady and coolish in prime 95 and have 15+C left of thermal margin. Used an arctic freezer 240 for 5ghz and a vcore of 1.57 and that was also prime95 stable and was also about 15ish C from thermal margin, so if you set it to 1.45 you can try and see if its prime 95 stable, but not with the cooler you mentioned, its just not enough. Tryed with an antech kuhler 620 my self and was only able to get to 4.5ghz with vcore at 1.38 within 10-15C left of thermal margin in prime95.

Thanks guys. This will be underclocked probably to 4.0 to 4.5GHz, because my pops isn't going to get a serious water setup, only my system has that

Wait a minute - you're at 2.8ghz and are still hitting 56*? Average or max?

What cooler? What volts?

You should be able to undervolt and run much cooler than that...

Max, while running prime95 small fft's, 56c. I haven't had time to really tweak it yet, just a quick underclock until I figure out what cooler I'm getting him. 1.38v and 2.8GHz underclock. The cooler is a basic small coolermaster, not sure what model, but it's 3 heat pipes. lol...

Yeah mine is reporting:
P-State FID 0x22 - VID 0x01 - IDD 18 (25.00x - 1.537 V)
P-State FID 0x1F - VID 0x01 - IDD 18 (23.50x - 1.537 V)
P-State FID 0x1D - VID 0x01 - IDD 18 (22.50x - 1.537 V)
P-State FID 0x18 - VID 0x0A - IDD 14 (20.00x - 1.425 V)
P-State FID 0x12 - VID 0x14 - IDD 11 (17.00x - 1.300 V)
P-State FID 0x8 - VID 0x24 - IDD 7 (12.00x - 1.100 V)
P-State FID 0x10C - VID 0x35 - IDD 4 (7.00x - 0.887 V)

So I'm going to begin lower voltages and stress testing soon, to see just how low I can go and raise the multi and find a nice balance. Just need better cooling. I'm thinking I could probably get a nice stable 4GHz OC with a fairly budget cooling system to make this all wrap up nicely for him. Probably going to go the AIO water route though, only because the massive air cooler I would want would probably not fit in his system, nor would it fit with his 4 sticks of 32gb ram. So options are fairly limited. I figure these setups will tide us over until the Ryzen hardware drops in price for the first time

The want is strong on that one.... probably wont last long on my end that's for sure lmao

As for now my system comes first, currently testing ram stability at 2400MHz as we speak

I can see the need to undervolt the 9590 with that tiny 3 pipe cooler, but I would think that the clocks would still be much higher. This is one of the last runs I made on my 9590 on a Sabertooth with a Silverstone HE01 twin tower cooler on it. Note it was running at 4.7 @ 1.428 vcore.

Right - the 9590 is thoroughly binned, too. It should run pretty cool if you lower the volts.
 
#14 ·
Yeah, at 4.7 it runs at lower voltage than either my 8350 or 8370.

Funny, I'm thinking actually now if I just add a better fan or two to this cooler (push/pull) it may actually be fine surprisingly. Right now I have the voltage down to 1.3v and 3.4GHz and with prime FFT it's not going over 45c. Need to add a fan onto the vrm though to get socket temps down though, it will hit 74c with prime. So I'll post up tomorrow with any improvements.
