R7 1700X - Scythe Big Shuriken 3 - Asus ROG B350-i - Asus GTX 1080 Strix - 16gb G.Skill Ripjaws V 3333mhz - Silverstone SX500-LG - 500gb 960 EVO - Fractal Design Node 202 - Samsung 60KS7090 - Logitech G502 - Thrustmaster T500RS - Noblechairs Icon But for those who are wondering why their FX chip isn't performing as well as expected, that's why. I'd still recommend it for those who need a budget PC that doesn't completely suck at gaming.

Now mind you, the FX-8350 (with my experience) is absolutely capable of running most games fairly pending on your standards and budget. So even though there is quite a bit of CPU power available, the games just won't use it for whatever reason, leading to significant bottlenecks. And ever since then, I haven't had any unexpected troubles with FPS.Īlthough, I think I should answer the question I originally asked, in case anybody else encounters the same problem.īased on what I have read (and experienced, I suppose), modern games often don't take full advantage of FX chips. Ultimately, my solution was to upgrade to Ryzen. However, upgrading from an FX-8350 to a 9590 is not recommended IMO, since an overclocked 8350 can match or surpass the 9590. Yes, the Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2 can most certainly handle an FX-9590 chip with no problems whatsoever. I hope you are not mixing politics with PC knowledge when posing.If you feel the need to flame me please do so on my PM.Just to do my due diligence and mark this thread as 'solved':

I have no interest in making people buy dual channel kits or whatever ,i am not working neither for reselers or manufacturers. The probability of 2 memory types to work when being bough at such a big time gap is quite small as batches can be very different even across few months.You can find different RAM chips being used even when the product is having the same name and same specs overall. With 4 sticks the maximum supported frequency will drop one notch as per IMC. You may be free to experiment, sometimes with luck ,but you may encounter random crashes /BSOD-s(sound and video driver related ones mostly) whenever the memory controller is highly loaded ,as well as cold boot issues.Īlso using only 2 sticks of RAM is the recommended way for/by AMD. When unmatched memory sticks are used you may not be able to use the stated latency or frequency for all sticks in most cases. I have found even similar kits to have issues or even sticks from the same dual channel kit to generate issues ,even though each sticks was ok by itself.

Since 2002 i only had AMD rigs and I think I know very well what i am saying here.
