Noctua Offers Free Mounting Kit For The Intel LGA1155 Platform
Owners of older Noctua CPU coolers who wish to upgrade to the
upcoming LGA1155 socket will be able to obtain the appropriate
NM-I3 SecuFirm2 mounting kit free of charge, Noctua announced
today.
Recent models such as the NH-C14, NH-D14 or NH-U12P SE2
already include the NM-I3 mounting kit and are fully compatible
with LGA1155 out of the box.
Due to the spacing of the mounting holes being identical on LGA1155 and LGA1156, Noctua's NM-I3 SecuFirm2 mounting kit for LGA1156 also supports Intel's upcoming 'Sandy Bridge' platform. The following Noctua coolers already include the NM-I3 SecuFirm2 mounting system for LGA1156 and can thus be used on LGA1155 mainboards without any upgrades or modifications: NH-C14, NH-D14, NH-C12P SE14, NH-U12P SE2, NH-U9B SE2.
rs of older Noctua models that don't include the SecuFirm2 mounting system for LGA1156/1155 can obtain the NM-I3 kit free of charge on Noctua's website in order to make their heatsinks compatible with the new socket. A proof of purchase (photo, scan or screenshot of the invoice) of both a Noctua CPU cooler and either a socket 1155 mainboard or socket 1155 CPU are required.
The NM-I3 mounting kit is compatible with all Noctua retail coolers since 2005 and is also available in stores at a low service charge.
