Noctua NM-i115x-1200, Mounting Kit for Noctua CPU Coolers on Intels LGA115x/LGA1200 Platforms

Fit on my LGA 1151 motherboard perfectly! I had bought the Noctua NH-15 Standard Edition by mistake....

So I was putting my pc parts in an old Powermac G5. wanted to keep a lot of original parts. What a headache. Anyway one of my last little touches was putting the old G5 heatsink which as an absolute monster onto my i7, which had two fans pushing into a tunnel dedicated for the heatsink, and two fans exhausting, all Noctua of course. All I had to do was find a way to mount their weird proprietary heatsink to a modern LGA 1200 i7 processor. I looked around everywhere, kinda finally went out on a limb and bought this kit, and it actually fits. I did have to drill out two holes just about 0.5 mm over, but I laughed when I actually lined it all up and discovered it would secure the heatsink down. No problems so far, and I dont foresee any since anything Noctua Ive ever had outlasts whatever its cooling. My old max temps were 75c with the stock cooler, and the heat would throttle down my processor, now with the powermac cooler with this kit I am getting about 52 max with no throttling, so it works well. I also like how it came in premium packaging for simple hardware. Quality company.

It just enlarge your investment in the cooler you got before. Its very well constructed. Noctua makes quality products. I hope they make more mounting kits for future sockets.

Astonishingly well packaged for an add-on kit. Packaged like a fine watch. Worked just great going to a new socket 1150 board.

Noctua always make the best products and their customer service is unmatched.

Excelent

All of Noctuas products exude quality and, funnily enough, this mounting kit is no exception. It comes neatly packaged in foam cutouts that fit each component perfectly. The Noctua mounting system was really easy to use; I would buy their products again in a heartbeat.

Pros: Works well and extends the life of older heatsinks

Fits perfect and is very well made. The back plate is heavy duty ensuring this mounting kit will hold the heat sink secure with out putting too much stress on the motherboard.

Worked well with new processor.
