Noctua, a renowned name in the cooling solutions industry, has once again demonstrated its commitment to customer satisfaction by confirming that its range of coolers, which are compatible with Intel’s LGA 1700, will also seamlessly support the upcoming Intel Core Ultra 200S CPUs. What’s more, they’re offering free mounting kits for those with older models—a great bonus for customers looking to upgrade without additional costs.
The new Intel Core Ultra desktop processors, designated as Series 2, will operate on the futuristic LGA1851 socket. This advancement comes under the much-anticipated code name Arrow Lake-S, promising enhanced performance and efficiency. While current models like the Core Ultra 9 285K will not fit the older LGA1700 motherboards, Noctua’s coolers compatible with LGA1700 will indeed fit the new LGA1851 sockets, ensuring users won’t need to replace their cooling solutions when upgrading to these new processors.
In keeping with Noctua’s tradition, dating back to their response to AMD’s AM2 launch in 2006, the company will provide upgrade kits free of charge. Customers with older Noctua coolers can easily upgrade them via Noctua’s online order form; they’ll just need proof of purchase for both the cooler and either a new LGA1851 CPU or motherboard. For those in a hurry, optional express delivery is offered for a fee, depending on the destination.
Additionally, if immediate access to these mounting kits is a priority, customers can purchase them on Amazon with a minimal service charge. For broader compatibility across different platforms, Noctua suggests the NM-M1-MP83 or NM-M1-MP78 kits. These kits include mounting hardware needed for both AMD and Intel platforms, such as AM5 and LGA1851/LGA1700 sockets, complete with tools for hassle-free installation.
Noctua’s customer-centric approach not only simplifies the upgrade process but also underscores its reliability and commitment to quality—traits that continue to endear it to PC enthusiasts and professionals alike. By making these options easily accessible and ubiquitous, Noctua offers a seamless transition into the future of desktop processing technology.
