The FX9590 has a TDP of 220W.
The Dark Rock Pro 3 can cool chips with up to 250W TDP.

Yeah it will cool it, but don't expect nice temps and rock solid cooling on that chip.

try to install a fan behind the motherboard-tray blowing fresh air over the socket
if there is no room or if you have no cpu-cutout on your case, try to install a small fan described in the image below

this will help moving hot, trapped air away from the socket and the vrm area, which will improve your temps a little.
