About everything is in the title.
This is mobo I'll buy along my my X2 3800+. I need some badass Air Cooling unit and this one seems to be the best around. Does anybody know if this monster will fits my mobo ?
If not, what would you recommend that'll fit ?

Have you seen this thread? http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=74433 the reason why I say it is cause on air like me (soon not to be) don't get somthing huge thats going to take up space and give you a -2C diffrence (estimating)...Just go with the XP-90 that will fit all motherboards (I belive), with a panflo which is the average with "air coolers" today, and if you have some money go with the Phase Change that I just saw a review on the other day which looks like it really nice, but I still recommend the XP-90 with panflo
Phase Change = http://www.frozencpu.com/scan/se=Modified%20Cases/se=Vapochill/mp=menu_search.html (I mean the fans and heatsinks not the cases, and boxes)

Thx, but space isn't a problem. Also, the Xp-90 with a panflow cost alot more than Big Typhoon.
And from what I see concerning the VapoChill Micro, it looks like a good product but it doesn't seem to be as good as an XP-90C or a Tt Big Typhoon...

Well eh I really didn't check prices, but I would go with the Vapo Chill...I saw the review from 3DMan I belive I will find the review when I get home (it's a video review no reading, so ya...)

the TT big typhoon is the best aircooler you can find just have in mind a couple of things FIRST and most important one when you get your TT buy some sand paper and polish the base to mirror finish with the fan it comes perfoms VERY NICE @ low db use some AS5 and the TT is taller than the xp90c and doesnt interfere with ram like the xp90c so is better to work with
hope this helps you

I suppose i'll need to buy a backplate ? This ASrock mobo doesn't come with one.
How about this one ? : http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=12189&vpn=NEO-BACKPLATE&manufacture=THERMALRIGHT
Will it fits with the Typhoon ?
About the VapoChill, I'll need to look more for it...they are about the same price, yet it doesn't perform as good as BT...

i think the BT bring backplate so dont worry but you can always email TT and ask them....
