Noctua NM-i17xx-MP78 Mounting Kit, Silver

This dedicated mounting kit provides necessary hardware for adapting specific older generation Noctua CPU coolers to contemporary Intel platforms. It specifically allows users to integrate coolers requiring a 78mm mounting pitch onto motherboards featuring the LGA1700 and LGA1851 sockets, as well as the LGA1954 standard. The primary function of the kit is to extend the service life of high-performance cooling equipment while maintaining essential contact integrity for effective thermal dissipation.

The hardware utilizes the robust SecuFirm2™ mounting system, which is engineered to ensure high reliability and apply consistent, optimal contact pressure across the CPU's integrated heat spreader (IHS). Achieving precise contact pressure is critical for maximizing the cooler’s thermal performance under sustained load conditions. The materials used consist primarily of durable metal components, suitable for secure, long-term retention of large CPU cooler assemblies.

Installation is designed to be straightforward, providing all the requisite components, including stand-offs and mounting brackets, necessary for a secure attachment to compatible Intel motherboards. The kit addresses compatibility issues that arise when transitioning to newer CPU generations without requiring replacement of the entire cooling unit. This silver accessory measures 152mm in depth, 111mm in width, and 30mm in height, with a total mass of 206 grams.
