I love this board. I need better cooling though. I think that is some of my problem eventhough its off i am running 56-60c under torture test. So its like 50-55c that is just too high for me. I have it running now at 3.0ghz on 1:1 ratio.
 
Thermalright SP-94. Yes, it will fit. I have one on my MAX3. Get a decent fan with at least 60cfm and you'll be set.
 
The heatsink will touch the side of the northbridge fan, but it's not tight. it also doesn't touch the OTES thing, there's plenty of room. The 900A, 900U, 947U, and SP94 all take 80mm fans and 92mm. I think even 80mm x 38mm will fit too. I know i've personally put an 80mm x 25mm and a 92mm x 25mm and it worked just fine. Don't worry :) Come back and ask questions after you get it if something concerns you.
