Helpful answer

Since the board has 2 fan holes for LGA 1700 as well as for LGA 1200 fans, you can use quite a few.

We have already successfully installed a BeQuiet Dark Rock 4 and a water cooling NZXT Kraken X63. We had to rotate the BeQuiet fan by 90 degrees because of the surrounding structures, i.e. we had to direct the airflow from the "bottom" to the "top" - which is no problem with the NZXT H510 case, as the upper exhaust fan is located right above it. It did not affect the cooling performance of the CPU.

But it's best to make sure that the cooler really does come with the appropriate mounting kits for LGA 1700 boards. Without them it could be difficult.
