AMD’s new 5GHz chip runs so hot it ships with watercooling
SourceIf you purchase a brand new processor from Intel or AMD then it typically comes with a stock heatsink and fan in the box. This is more than adequate for cooling if you don’t intend on overclocking the chip and silent running isn’t a concern. AMD is bucking that trend, though, and shipping a new performance chip with a watercooling kit in the box.
AMD is resurrecting the FX-9590, which originally launched at the end of June last year, but it shipped with a stock air cooling solution. That meant you were limited as to how much you could push the performance of the chip without investing in more heavy duty cooling. This time around, the new FX-9590 won’t have the same issue as AMD is shipping it with the necessary watercooling kit to get all 8 cores humming.
