It's been a while since I visited this site. I just want suggestions which motherboard is capable of running FX 9590. Please do not suggest Intel platform.

Just stick to your 8350. If you want more power then there is no other way than switching to Intel. The whole 9xxx series is complete bullshit. They overheat from factory, which is not really a big surprise, if a CPU is using WAY more watt than your current GPU.

The ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0 is generally considered the best. I'm using the Asrock 990FX Extreme6 with my FX-8350 @ 4.7 GHz. But moving from the FX-8350 to the FX-9370 is a bit of a sideways move. It is already at just about its peak speed. There won't be much OC'ing you'll be able to do. You can probably get your FX-8350 to that speed or more with a good board and cooler.

How about Asrock 990FX Extreme9, it has the highest power phase 12+2 amongst the mentioned motherboards?

Even Better! But the Asus is still considered the best (by some). http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/best-intel-amd-motherboard,3902.html
However now that I look a bit deeper, I don't see the FX-9570 on the CPU support list. Although I suspect it would work. Maybe its wattage was over the limit for that board: https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/M5A99FX_PRO_R20/HelpDesk_CPU/


But like you, I like the high phase power...
And the 220W FX-9590 is officially supported on the Extreme9: http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/990FX%20Extreme9/?cat=CPU So I'm sure the Fx-9570 would be fine.
Reconsidering, that would probably be my choice for best board for that CPU.

FX 9570? There is no such CPU? FX 9370 and FX 9590. The 9590, Will it go over 5.0 GHZ? with a water cooling and with Asrock 990FX extreme9 MB? BTW I have an EVGA 850 watts PSU. I think 9590 and the asrock 990FX extreme9 is a good combination.
