Today, Noctua confirmed that all its CPU coolers and mounting kits that support Intel LGA1700 also support the new LGA1851 socket of the upcoming Core Ultra desktop processors (Series 2), also known under the code name Arrow Lake-S. Mounting upgrade kits for older heatsink models that do not yet support LGA1700 and LGA1851 will be provided to customers free of charge.
“We have offered free-of-charge mounting upgrade kits to our customers ever since AMD introduced AM2 in 2006, and we’re proudly continuing this tradition with the upcoming Intel® Core™ Ultra Series 2 processors and their new LGA1851 socket”, says Roland Mossig (Noctua CEO). “While all our current multi-socket coolers already support LGA1851 out of the box and don’t require any updates, customers will be able to upgrade most older coolers at no additional cost, so even the very first Noctua coolers from 2005 can be used on the latest Intel processors!”
