## Questions & Answers

**Q: can you use 2 fans on this one under and one on top if so are attachments included ?**
A: Not officially Supported , no, but I guess you may fit a attachement clip there might be just enough space to propel a fan over. Might want to just get a fan over it to cool it some more but it did really well in a shoebox Elite 130 case with cables all over with a 8 core 1700x cpu on a mini itx just if you build make sure your ram is lpx or Lower in height or use 2 slots to the right in ATX/MATX board as I could not fit any taller ram

**Q: How does this compare to original NH-L12 performance?**
A: pretty much identical.

**Q: Can you attach a fan to the top of the cooler like the NH-L12 did?**
A: Yes you can move the fan to the top.

**Q: will this work with a intel socket 1151 LGA**
A: Yes.  I fitted one of these to an Asus Z390A motherboard last  year.  That board has LGA 1151.  I didn't have a problem.
