Noctua are offering free AM4 upgrade kits to customers

Below is a quote from Roland Mossig, Noctua’s CEO. 

 

    We were the first heatsink manufacturer to provide its customers with free mounting upgrades in 2006 when AMD introduced the AM2 socket and we’ve continued this policy with several generations of Intel sockets. Now we’re glad to offer free mounting upgrades for the new AM4 platform,

It makes us proud that so many customers who bought their Noctua cooler five or even ten years ago, and used it on several platform generations, are still so satisfied with it that they want to keep running it on the latest CPUs. Keep enjoying your Noctua coolers on AM4!

 

 

In order to obtain the kits free of charge via Noctua’s website, users are required to upload a proof of purchase (electronic version, scan or photo of the invoice) of an AM4 motherboard or AM4 CPU as well as an eligible Noctua retail CPU cooler (server and workstation coolers of the DX and DO line are excluded from the free offer). Users who have lost the invoice for their Noctua cooler may write their full name and the current date on a piece of paper, take a photo of the paper next to their cooler and upload it as proof of purchase. Depending on the user’s location, shipping will usually take 1–4 weeks.

 

Noctua will be offering two different versions of their SecuFirm2 AM4 upgrade kits,  the NM-AM4-UxS kit for NH-U14S, NH-U12S and NH-U9S, and the NM-AM4 kit that supports most other retail cooler models manufactured since 2005 (full list can be found here). 

In addition to these two kits, Noctua also aims to offer an upgrade kit for the NH-L9a later this year.

Those who do not have proof of purchase for their CPU cooler will be able to purchase upgrade kits from select retailers for €7.90 in the EU and $7.90 in the US.
