1. Just want to give a slight update on the Situation. The main Tip to change to a 990 Chipset solved actually my Issue with temperatures. I chose the Gigabyte 990FX Gaming, but only because you preferred Boards where’d available here anymore. However it still solved the Temperature Issue. The down clock for the time been was help a bit but still was on the edge. My average Package temp is now around 35 under full load around the 50. Still you also right I should safe the Money for the R7 1800. Instead I now have 3 working liquid cooler lol.

apply better thermal paste - i use "Arctic Silver 5"

1. clean Cooler and CPU with Alc or "ArtiClean Thermal Remover"

2. let both dry for 30min

3. apply "Arctic Silver 5" or any other good thermal paste

4. let it "burn" - 30min light load - then 2h prime95

temps should be fixed...

The temps would not be fixed from your reply.  It was not a matter of improper TIM being used.  He was trying to use a motherboard that did not support the CPU he has.

well with bad thermal paste it can affect temps // but yeah - not all MoBos support that FX-9XXX Series

Good to hear! I just gave away that gigabyte board with an 9590.

In my opinion Corsair H115i Extreme Performance had some mouting issue on AMD3/3+ sockets. In my rig I had to use special washers uder the motherboard backplate then I could install rest of Corsair gear. At first time everything was working well (not super) but after few months I get high temps, temp spikes (above 180C on one core). In Civilization VI after 5 minutes of gaming my core temps were above 66C. Generally after next 8 months my H115i just couldn't cool FX9590 (reduced in BIOS settings to 4 cores 3.0 GHz 1.32V). Few minutes and blackscreen. I tried many times to mount again and again this pump but every time it was a disaster. I returned this cooling to RMA.

Now I am using Corsair H115i RGB Platinum (still waiting for RMA) and I will write this:

Ambient 24C - 25C

                          H115i EP (ThermalGrzizzly Kryonaut)    H115i RGB Platnium (Stock Corsair Thermal paste)

IDLE:                   38-46 C                                                           17-28 C (yeah this smart algorithm is calculating temps)

H20 TEMP:          38 - 41 C                                                        26 - 28 C

GAME LOAD:      52-64 C (Civilization 6 impossible to play)     30-37 C

H20 TEMP:          41 - 46 C                                                        27 - 29 C

AMD OVER DRIVE

Stability Test:          68-70 C (after few seconds)                       47-49 C (after 10 minutes)

Cinebench R15:     71 C or blackscreen                                49 C

No problems with instalation! No washers! Only old plastic mounts for stock AMD cooler and thats it. Everything working well.

If the corsair cooling doesn’t work use the cooling solutions that the manufactures of the MB (Motherboard) make (it might work better)
