You don't think either of these 360mm AIOs would do the trick?

I'd have to argue and say there was something wrong/is something perhaps inherently wrong with the 9590s. At my old work, we had a workshop, and 9590s always came back one way or another, and the boards being used were always the higher end Asus boards or otherwise with sufficient VRM/cooling etc. We had a fair few we had to RMA and always replaced them with 9370s and had no problems there after.. Even after getting some 9590s replaced brand new (different batches etc) we'd have the customer come back and say they're having the same problems. This is also after replacing the board as well...

As a general rule, whilst I have no hate against AMD, I never recommended a 9590 to a customer, and if they strictly wanted AMD I'd push for a 9370/8370 or something similar. Purely for the sake of reducing our RMA requests. x.x

Doubt it. I was on 480 worth of BI Extremes with fan power that not many people would care to be in the same room with.

WOW... Seriously?! I say this because I've been using the AMD FX Series AIO Liquid Cooler 3 years now. Runs 4.8Ghz stable. The jump from 4.8Ghz to 5Ghz is only .2... So that .2Ghz gain requires a change from a 120mm AIO to a custom water loop requiring 4 radiators? That is so crazy yet so interesting and cool

Personally wouldn't spend the extra money for the slight gains you may get. Not likely to make that much difference in your day to day computing. I run my HTPC with an FX 9370 at 4.6 summer, 4.7 winter and it games just fine.

My voltage for 5 gig stable was 1.55v. It makes a lot of heat at that voltage running 8 cores.
