Here's the list of compatible cpus for this board. FX-9590 is not in this list.
Most likely the board doesn't meet extreme power delivery requirements for this cpu model.

No.

And you wouldn't want it to be anyway. The FX-9590 is one of the worst consumer CPUs ever released; you need a high-end motherboard of the era, a high-end cooler, and a high-end PSU to run it properly and some people never get it to work properly. And the ones that do, the reward is a CPU that struggles to beat i3s of the same era and with slower single and double core performance than contemporary Pentium CPUs.

That MB would make great fireworks with FX 9590.
