Noctua Says Its Existing LGA115x CPU Coolers Support New Socket LGA1200 Chips

Noctua Says Its Existing LGA115x CPU Coolers Support New Socket LGA1200 Chips

Cooling Systems Apr 22,2020 0

Noctua confirmed that the heatsink mounting on Intel's new LGA1200 platform (code name Comet Lake S) is identical to all LGA115x sockets (LGA1150, LGA1151, LGA1155, LGA1156).

This means that existing coolers from Noctua which support LGA115x also support LGA1200, out of the box, without any extra mounting kits required.

Intel is expcetd to hold a Comet Lake-S desktop processor and motherboard launch event soon. Various retailers have already provided some information and pricing for upcoming Asus, Gigabyte and MSI Intel Z490 motherboards, equipped with the LGA 1200 Socket.

Many other cooler models that do not support LGA115x can be made compatible free of charge with a NM-i115x Upgrade-Kit provided by Noctua.

So, if you are already having a Noctua cooler, the following models include a mounting-kit for socket LGA1200/LGA115x and are thus compatible out of the box:

NH-C12P SE14
NH-C14
NH-C14S
NH-D15
NH-D15 chromax.black
NH-D15S
NH-D14
NH-L12
NH-L12S
NH-L9i
NH-L9i chromax-black
NH-L9x65
NH-U14S
NH-U12A
NH-U12S
NH-U12S chromax.black
NH-U12P SE2
NH-U9S
NH-D9L
NH-U9B SE2

In addition, all older models which have been upgraded with the NM-I3 kit can also be used on LGA115x without any further upgrades.

The following models can be made compatible with the LGA1200 socket free of charge using the NM-i115x upgrade-kit:

NH-C12P
NH-D15 SE-AM4
NH-L9x65 SE-AM4
NH-U12
NH-U12F
NH-U12P
NH-U12P SE1366
NH-U12S SE-AM4
NH-U9
NH-U9F
NH-U9B.

The following models can be made compatible with the LGA1200 socket using the NM-i115x upgrade-kit but are not eligible for Noctua‘s free mounting offer, so users have to purchase the kit at local resellers:

NH-U12DO (Note that the A3 version is not compatible)
NH-U12DX
NH-U12DX 1366
NH-U12DX i4
NH-U9DX i4
NH-U9DX 1366
NH-U9DO (Note that the A3 version is not compatible)

The following models are not compatible with the LGA1200 socket and can not be upgraded:

NH-U14S TR4-SP3
NH-U12S TR4-SP3
NH-U9 TR4-SP3
NH-U12DO A3
NH-U9 DO A3
NH-L9a
NH-L9a-AM4
NH-L9a-AM4 chromax.black
