Noctua Offers Free Mounting Upgrade for Upcoming Intel Skylake Platform

Noctua Offers Free Mounting Upgrade for Upcoming Intel Skylake Platform

Okay, this is an attempt of hyping something over nothing to gain some media coverage as Socket 1155/1156/1150 and soon 1151 all have the same mounting design for processors. Ah well, we'll play as it is Noctua. Noctua today announced that it will continue its tradition of supplying customers with its premium-class SecuFirm2 mounting kits for novel platforms free of charge.

While most Noctua heatsinks support Skylake's LGA1151 socket out of the box, older models can be upgraded with the NM-i115x kit at no additional cost.

"We're determined to provide the best possible support to our customers and over the years, we've sent many thousands of mounting kits free of charge to users who wanted to upgrade to new platforms", says Mag. Roland Mossig (Noctua CEO). "With Skylake just around the corner, we're pleased to announce that we'll extend this offer for LGA1151. Owners of older Noctua retail heatsinks that don't support LGA1151 out of the box will be able to upgrade to the new socket free of charge!"

Due to the spacing of the mounting holes being identical on LGA1150, LGA1151, LGA1155 and LGA1156, Noctua's previous SecuFirm2 mounting systems for LGA115x also support Intel's upcoming 'Skylake' platform. All current Noctua coolers already include SecuFirm2 mounting systems for LGA115x and can thus be used on LGA1150 mainboards without any upgrades or modifications.

Users of older Noctua retail models that don't include a SecuFirm2 mounting system for LGA115x can obtain the NM-i115x kit free of charge on Noctua's website in order to make their heatsinks compatible with the new socket. The NM-i115x kit is compatible with most Noctua retail coolers since 2005.

To order the NM-i115x kit, a proof of purchase (photo, scan or screenshot of the invoice) of both an eligible Noctua CPU cooler and either an LGA115x mainboard or LGA115x CPU are required. The NM-i115x mounting kit is compatible with most Noctua retail coolers since 2005 and is also available in stores at a low service charge.

Same, when I upgraded from q6600 (pushed 3.51GHz out of it before it became unstable at ~65ºC) and X38-DS5 to i5 4690k and Z97P-D3, contacted Noctua support and they sent out the mounting kit for my ye olde NH-U12P, still does the job well with a modest overclock to 4.2GHz at a comfortable 70ºc (4.4GHz takes it to 80ºc but I don't like it at that temperature).

Just goes to show, from my point of view at least at the quality of both the product and the customer service.

BLEH!

My next CPU cooler will be from Noctua. I like this kind of customer service.

Noctua support rocks.

Still using my NH-D14 that I got years ago on my x79 setup.

When I moved to x79 - LGA 2011, I contacted them and they sent me the mounting hardware free of charge.

What other HSF company does this?
