The NM-M1-MP78 is an enthusiast-grade, multi-socket SecuFirm2+™ mounting-kit that represents an ideal upgrade for users who want to migrate their Noctua CPU coolers to the new, Torx® based SecuFirm2+™ standard or to the latest sockets that their cooler did not yet support at the time of purchase. Compatible with a wide range of Noctua CPU coolers with 78mm mounting pitch since 2005 (see detailed compatibility information) and supporting all the latest desktop platforms from AMD (AM5 & AM4) and Intel (LGA1851, LGA1700, LGA1200, LGA115x), the NM-M1-MP78 provides an excellent, future-proof basis for air-cooled premium builds.
On AM5, the offset mounting option can significantly improve performance with typical reductions in CPU temperatures of 1-3°C. Like all SecuFirm2™ mountings, it combines outstanding reliability, optimal contact pressure and easy, straightforward installation. At the same time, following the new SecuFirm2+™ standard, it uses Torx® T20 instead of Phillips head screws for even better handling and resistance to wear. With the included magnetic tip NM-SD1 Torx® T20 screwdriver, it is perfect for power users who frequently change their setups and demand the new gold standard in convenience and durability under heavy use. The chromax.black version with its all-black parts is an ideal match for Noctua’s chromax.black line heatsinks.
