Yes I have read that people have got it to work. But that is a 50/50 chance you are going to take. If you haven't bought the board yet.
Try and find GA-990XA-ud5 rev 3.0 board if you can. I'm only going by what Gigabyte has listed for your board. If I was going to do it I would get the FX-9370.
The FX-9590 has a lot of bad reviews on it. This CPU will run very hot and you better have a really good cooler on it. I have read where people have the CPU burn up from heat and even the board catching on fire.
I have the FX-9370 for over a year with really no problems. But the thing is I don't OC too. Plus the other thing it is a play around computer. If I have to download something it is right there when I'm working on other computers.
That is up to the person who wants it. I'm not going tell you not to buy it. I'm only going by what I have read.

It may be compatible but the mobo's power regulators are not good enough for this CPU hence your joy won't last very long - the board will be unstable and die prematurely let alone the heat issues.
