Hello, will the AMD FX-9590 fit in the Z1-7641 Motherboard?

Your choices for the 9590:

ASRock 990FX Extreme9
Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z
Asus M5A99FX PRO R2.0
Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0
Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 R4.0
Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD5
Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD7
MSI 990FXA-GD80V2

AMD.COM

Warning: This power draw of this CPU is almost twice that of the average CPU. Due to this, AMD recommends using at minimum a 1000W power supply. For cooling, AMD recommends using either either closed loop liquid cooling or full system liquid cooling.

The 9590 is pretty much a waste as it is an overclocked 8350.

so what would be a good CPU that does not require as much power but does the same performance

Not any AM3+ motherboard will work for the 9590 because it's not a simple CPU. It takes a motherboard that has very good cooling and power phases to power the 9590. As for upgrading to a more powerful CPU, for the motherboard you have you're limited. You have a lower end motherboard that doesn't have the best power phases to supply the CPU.

Your choices are listed here:

My recommendation would be the 6300 or the 8320E (note that's not the 8320. The 8320E is a completely different CPU. Less wattage.)

But I'm guessing you're not happy with performance. Why don't you list out your entire build? (Makes and models please).
