At the moment, I have an ASUS Pro Gaming Aura 970 motherboard and an AMD FX 8350 @ 4 GHz cpu (4.2 GHz turbo).
I want to upgrade but the best CPU I can get for this mb is the FX 9590 @ 4.7 Ghz (5 GHz turbo).
I know its not a massive jump but would it help? Is it worth it for the extra money?
As a new motherboard and cpu is a lot more money..
Help!

Hi there, is it a PC Specialist system? If so, please can you post your full spec from the orders page? 👍

No it wasn't from PC Specialist, just after some advice. Although I have just read somewhere that the max cpu watts on the 970 mb is up to 125w, the 9590 is 220w..
Is there any way to up the wattage output?

I’m afraid the forum can only advise on PCS builds, sorry. Try out Tom’s Hardware, that’s an open forum and they should be able to help 👍
