Hey,
Use a 3-pin fan (voltage) if that's what your motherboard supports. If 4-pin for the CPU_Fan header then use 4-pin (PWM) fan instead.
There are compatible CLIPS and the cooler mounts properly?
As said, just MEASURE the fan to see. I'd suspect a 12cm fan but it's really hard to tell.
EXAMPLE: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/noctua-case-fan-nfp121300
I believe that's 3-pin for the fan.
$20 may sound expensive when a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO isn't much more but this fan is better than what an EVO has so as long as the heatsink you have is similar you'll get a much quieter setup.
Make sure you setup FAN CONTROL in software (motherboard support site if possible), and get a quality, VARIABLE fan so it can be controlled.
