I use the Thermalright XP-90, which seems to be a perfect match. I prefer to have the fan blow away from the board - that way it sucks a lot of heat from the heatpipes. Part of the heatsink makes a "shelf" that hangs directly above the mobo's HS (close to the I/O panel). In addition, the orientation of the TR's fins ensures fairly good airflow from the "upper" and "lower" heatpipes. But you might need an additional fan if quiet operation is a priority.
