Later revisions of the board likely have beefed up power delivery vs. the earlier versions and thus can handle the FX 9590's insane power draw. I would advise against getting the FX 9590, it is a notoriously unstable chip that many users have problems with, even with one of the few supported motherboards and extreme high end cooling. If you absolutely have to stay on AM3+, just buy one of the FX 83xx chips and overclock the hell out of it, you'd get similar performance to the 9590 for cheaper while also having a far more stable system.

I have an FX 9590, and I've been using it for a couple of years now. It draws way too much power, but I still like using AutoCAD and Creo Parametric on my home PC (FX 9590/Firepro W5000) rather than my work PC (i7 3770/GTX 680). I have an ASRock 990FX Extreme9 and I'm very happy with it.
