Possible CPU/Mobo conflicts?

So I'm trying to figure out if this is a bad idea or not. I'm looking to purchase a new motherboard/cpu combo (ASrock 970A and FX-9590 respectively) to upgrade my computer.

While the supported CPU list includes the FX-9590 http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/970A-G3.1/#CPU there is a footnote saying that, "For cooling the CPU and its surrounding components, please install a decent liquid cooling system and additional air fan".

I fumbled around for more info and found that an unaffiliated compatibility site listed the two parts as being non-compatible but I don't know enough to be sure which is correct. Any input you fine folks can give me would be much appreciated on if this can work or not.

It says it's compatible on their official site, so there's no issues with it actually being compatible.

That being said, putting any system together with a 9590 is a bad idea. It requires astronomical amounts of cooling and power to run at decent clock speeds and temperatures, and because of that, your entire system will heat up (VRMs, etc). If it's all that you have, then you should be prepared to get a pretty good power supply and, at bare minimum, a 2-fan tower cooler or 240mm radiator to cool it, as well as installing additional case fans for air flow. All of this, not even to mention that newer CPUs do the job significantly better.

It'd be best to get a new system, if possible.
The board supports the CPU, However they are saying put it under water cooling , and really, not much else will keep one cool.

Why would you buy this though? I mean there's so many better choices around that game and do productivity so much better for the same money you'd spend here.
