All Noctua coolers released since 2005 will support Intel LGA 1851

Noctua has officially confirmed that all of its cooling solutions that support the Intel LGA 1700 processor socket also support the new LGA 1851 processor socket for Core Ultra 200S (Arrow Lake-S) processors. For older cooler models that have not yet received support for LGA 1700 and LGA 1851, the manufacturer will release and provide special mounting kits for free.

«We have been offering free mounting kits to our customers since the release of the AMD AM2 platform in 2006 and are pleased to announce that we are continuing this proud tradition with the release of the new Core Ultra 200S processors and the new LGA 1851 socket. Although our current models of cooling systems support various processor sockets support the new LGA 1851 socket right out of the box and do not require any additional modifications; for older cooler models we will release free mounting kits with support for LGA 1700/LGA 1851. Therefore, even cooling systems released in 2005,” said Noctua CEO Roland Mossig.

Ordering a mounting kit will require proof of purchase of a Noctua cooler and an LGA 1700 or new LGA 1851 motherboard. Express shipping options may be available depending on region, but will incur a service fee.

Alternatively, you can purchase the NM-i17xx-MP83 and NM-i17xx-MP78 mounting kits yourself, for example, on Amazon for $8.90/€8.90 for the regular version or $9.90/€9.90 for the chromax cooler version .black. For those looking for universal mounting kits that support AMD and Intel platforms, Noctua recommends checking out the NM-M1-MP83 or NM-M1-MP78 kits. They contain all the necessary SecuFirm2+ fasteners for AMD AM5, Intel LGA 1851 and LGA 1700 sockets, as well as a proprietary Torx screwdriver for easy installation.
