Customized for LGA1700 (LGA17xx family)
To save costs, many manufacturers use cross-platform parts for both Intel and AMD, which can lead to compatibility issues. Noctua's SecuFirm2 mounting system for LGA1700 (LGA17xx family) is specially designed for this socket to ensure optimal compatibility and ease of installation. |  |
 | 90° reverse cooler installation
Installing the cooler in a 90° reverse orientation may be desired for airflow reasons or compatibility. Thanks to the square-hole pattern layout on the LGA1700 (LGA17xx family) platform, it's easily achievable with NM-i17xx kits if space and other components allow. |
Backward compatibility
Noctua CPU coolers are known for safe long-term investments that can be used across multiple generations of processors. Therefore, you can also upgrade coolers that are 8 years or older to the latest Intel processor platform using this mounting kit. |  |
 | Sustainability
Using a CPU cooler over multiple generations of platforms instead of buying a new cooler for each generation is not only economical, it also helps reduce unnecessary waste and save valuable resources. By upgrading instead of replacing your cooler, you actively contribute to a more sustainable computer industry. |
