Will my CPU fan fit on this board?

Not sure if this is a dumb question, but I've seen mixed answers online.

I've got this stock intel fan,

And this motherboard:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01NAK6CG2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

its LGA 1151 and an intel 7700k if that matters, do you think I'll need a new fan or as long as I can get proper contact and some new paste on there should it be ok? The seller states it will in a comment but thats hardly official to me

Will it fit? Yes
Will it be able to cool 7700K? Not necessarily. Description say it is able to cool CPU with TDP up to 95W, and 7700K is a 95W unit, but many of them run particularly hot.

It will fit... yes.
Will it be OK??
up to a point, yes.
But, you will need a good cooling case to supply the cooler with fresh air.
As an evaluation interim, you are ok.
If the processor detects a dangerous temperature, it will slow down or shut off.
That is around 100c.

If you have any intention of overclocking the K(and you should), buy a better cooler with a 120 or preferably 140mm fan.

Gotcha, I will use this in the interim then, refrain from overclocking for the time being and get a better fan in the future
