AMD 9590 FX Overclocks

[excelle1978]

Just wondering if any one has or has seen any 9590 FX Overclocks? I saw one guy on Newegg claiming 5.7 Ghz but I doubt that. I am looking to maybe do a custom water loop build in the future. Haven't had much luck finding any none review sites with end user overclocks. I like overclocking my current 8350fx and have extra motherboard. New builds are always fun

I've seen a lot of people with these chips now, and apparently there's really not much headroom at all. These chips are basically just factory-overclocked 8350's. I haven't seen anyone get higher than 5.2Ghz yet, but who knows...

They're already using 1.5v+ to achieve the 5GHz turbo speed. There's no overclocking headroom.

Why on earth would you want to go from an overclocked 8350 to a 9590?

Who buys a 9590FX if they don't have very high end cooling?
