The NM-i17xx kits feature a sturdy one-piece backplate with fixed struts that doesn’t require any pre-assembly or adjustment. Due to the fixed struts, aligning the backplate and attaching it to your motherboard is a breeze!

Caution: This mounting upgrade kit makes it possible to install a Noctua heatsink, which has originally been designed for other sockets according to their specifications, on LGA1700 (LGA17xx family) hardware. As the clearance specifications for LGA17xx differ from other sockets, it is crucial to verify that your heatsink is fully compatible with your LGA17xx motherboard before installation. Please consult our compatibility database (LGA1700 motherboards will be added when available) in order to make sure that your motherboard is fully compatible with your heatsink. Noctua cannot be held responsible for any damage or losses caused by compatibility issues.

Please note that the NM-i17xx-MP78 is only compatible with heatsinks that have 78mm mounting pitch (see detailed compatibility information) and that the NM-i17xx-MP83 kit must be used for heatsinks with 83mm mounting pitch.
