Does this motherboard support the FX-9590? (It supports AM3+ processors)

I have the GA-78LMT-S2P and Id like to upgrade to AMD FX-9590, but I want to ensure that this motherboard will support it... It supports AM3+, which is the socket that this processor requires, but on the CPU compatibility list, this processor is not listed... It very well could just not be updated, but please let me know if all AM3+ processors will work with this motherboard or if you have to have a specifically compatible motherboard for this processor. Thanks!

This is a very high power consuming CPU. No cheap mobo can handle it. And if you are going to buy both CPU and MB, why not go intel?

I feel like it would be ridiculous to go AMD route when I see price comparison, seeing as with the ridiculous temps the 9590 puts out, you have to have water cooling...
