Noctua Cooling Kit Question

UnitedStatesman · Aug 3, 2014

I'm upgrading my mobo/CPU to an i7-4790 (socket 1150). My rig previously had an old i7-920. (socket 1366)

I had a Noctua NH-U12P on the 920, and its been awesome. I'm curious if I can re-use it on the new setup (since I'm using the same case and know it fits). I know Noctua is awesome and sells kits to change the socket type on some of their heatsinks but I found their website confusing and couldn't seem to buy anything from it.

Has anyone had experience with such kits? How did you find/figure the right sized kit?
Thanks in advance

You didn't say which mobo you're switching to, but here is a list of boards that are compatible with the U12P:

You can also send your specs to Noctua and they'll tell you if it will fit, whether you'll need parts to make it fit, and if so where you can get them. There's a good chance they'll send them to you for free.

Thanks for that list link. Very Helpful! I was thinking the Asus Maximus VII (still debating a little). That list has the Maximus VI... maybe I'll send them an email to just see since the list must be a few months old.

Thanks again.

Just following up. I used that link to write to Noctua, didn't get a response back and began to think it was sent to a low priority inbox. Then two days ago a package from Austria shows up with the pieces I needed to fit my old cooler on the new board. They must have shipped it out a day or so after I emailed them. Noctua just went up in my books!

If anyone has the same problem as I did, use the link! http://www.noctua.at/main.php?show=kontakt&lng=en

I rest my case - Noctua rocks.
