Noctua, a leader in premium cooling solutions, recently confirmed that its current line of CPU coolers and mounting kits will be compatible with Intel’s forthcoming LGA1851 socket based motherboards. This new socket, expected to debut with Intel’s Core Ultra Series 2 processors, will share dimensions with the previous LGA1700 socket, enabling seamless compatibility with Noctua’s products.

In a move highlighting Noctua’s commitment to sustainability, the company is offering free mounting upgrade kits for older heatsink models that do not currently support LGA1700 or LGA1851. Users with these older models will have the opportunity to request the upgrade kits directly from Noctua, allowing them to extend the life of their coolers without needing to purchase new ones. This service reinforces Noctua’s long-standing approach of designing products with longevity in mind, promoting reuse over replacement.

To make the process more convenient for customers, Noctua has laid out clear instructions on their website for requesting the upgrade kits. While some models already support LGA1700 and are therefore automatically compatible with LGA1851, those needing upgrades can easily check compatibility using Noctua’s compatibility center.

This announcement continues Noctua’s tradition of offering free upgrade options, which started with previous socket generations, as part of their broader sustainability goals. By helping users avoid unnecessary electronic waste, Noctua demonstrates that high-quality engineering and eco-friendly practices can go hand in hand.

More information, including how to apply for the free kits, can be found on Noctua’s official website.
