Is is possible to run an AMD FX 9590 4.7GHz 220w on a mother board designed for max of FX 8350 4.0 GHz 125w for the cpu?

Maybe, for a little while ... Then you let out the "magic smoke" and it stops.

DO NOT PAY ANY MONEY for a 9590 CPU. It is wasted money.

If you don't have a motherboard rated for a 9590, then you also probably don't have sufficient cooling or power supply. Just say "NO" ..
