Noctua has once again proven its commitment to its loyal customers and the DIY PC building community. If you’ve ever winced at the thought of tossing out your expensive cooler just because Intel decided to change CPU sockets—good news! Noctua’s popular coolers are now compatible with both the LGA1851 and LGA1700 sockets, making them ready to support Intel’s upcoming “Nova Lake” processors.
Upgrade Without the Headache
DIY PC enthusiasts can breathe a sigh of relief. It’s always tough to bid farewell to a high-end cooler—especially a premium Noctua model—just because of a socket update. Noctua has addressed this pain point by ensuring their coolers will work with upcoming Intel “Nova Lake” CPUs, using the new LGA1851 socket as well as the familiar LGA1700. This means your investment in a Noctua cooler is safe for at least another CPU generation.
Noctua: The King of Compatibility
It’s nice to see a company that doesn’t treat its products like disposable fashion. Noctua continues to support its user base with updated mounting kits and forward-thinking engineering. Who knew that buying a cooler could be more futureproof than buying a smartphone? So, if you’re planning to upgrade to Intel’s next-gen chips, keep calm and keep your Noctua cooler.
