Hey now. I just built this one ~2wks ago.
Underclocked? Fug you!![LOL]( "LOL")
I'll have you know it's rock solid at 5.1Ghz, and that with AMDs poor FX IMC implementation yet still with 32GB(4x8GB) no less.
5.1Ghz w/32GB in my book ain't too shabby. I have a hoard of G.Skill here and my last two 4GB matched sticks of Samsung "Green Weenie' memory here I need to use instead of trying with this 32GB. But early results here is looking like I won the Silicon lottery with this 9590 I have.
My other boxes were stole enroute while moving to Arizona:
ASRock Z77 Extreme6/i7-3770K/Seasonic/H80i/32Gb G.Skill 2133
Asrock 990FX Professional/FX-8150/Seasonic/H80i/32Gb G.Skill 2133
ASRock FM2A88X Extreme6+/ A10-6800K/Seasonic/H80i/32Gb G.Skill 1866
I've been using AMD solely for over 25yrs now. That is until parsec talked me into that 3770K kit like 2 or 3 years ago.
I needed this 8-core workhorse to get my VMs up-n-running. A comparable Intel 8-core was not in the budget, obviously, being it would have been an Intel server chip.
AMD Fxs more than pull their weight running VMs. I'm extremely pleased with it. That 9590 and a pair of HP NC364T 4-port NICs and I've been off to the races since.
