Will this fit my mobo?
If it has holes around the CPU socket, yes.
I take it you dont own one. Check thermalright's site it will tell you which motherboards it will fit. Some mobo's have caps too close the the cpu for the 900 to fit on.Quote:

If this doesn't fit my mobo what would be the alternate solution for a better hsf?
If the slk-900 don`t fit I would go with the slk-800A, thats the one that clips on.
And yur sure that one will fit? I really want to use the Thermalright ones but if they don't fit which one should I use? And if it does fit should I go with the Thermaltake Smart Fan 2?
From what I have been able to find out the SLK-800A, should fit, you might also want to check out the thermalright SLK-700 and AX7. the smartfan 2 is a good choice and you can adjust it speeds.
the only thing i can say is that the SLK - 700 or 800 + smartfan 2 is an unbeatable combo... only thing is that its not so quiet, sure you can adjust the fan speed on the smartfan but i always got scared putting it too low on a huge copper hs. ;)
if you care for noise, i would try to get one of these

possibly with a bracket fan, but i've heard that there not needed... then you run into the size problem again... but if this thing doesnt fit i would deffenatly go for an slk + smartfan 2
hope you get what makes you happy :)
slk-700 fits in just about any newer motherboard (socketed)
slk-800 fits in the majority of (60-70%)
slk-900 has more issues but is the best...needs the most room to fit.
