Will a CPU fan thats not compatible with a LGA 1150 still work even though its compatible with an LGA 1156?

Unfortunatelly won't fit into the motherboard holes and won't cover the CPU.

It will depend upon the manufacturer. But there is a good chance that it will.

Here is a popular example the Noctua NH-D14.

Here is the list of LGA Sockets that are supported: Intel LGA1366 / 1156 / 1155 / 775 / 1150.

It is best to consult the manufacturer. But it easy to test it on the motherboard, and if it doesn't fit there may be an adapter kit. If not, there are many that will fit.

Exactly what cooler are we talking about? What is the socket of the motherboard?
