Noctua presents new mounting kits for its followers. The firm has introduced its NM-M1 kits, obtainable in MP83 and MP78 variations. But what has modified? Simply the clamping screws!
NM-M1: mounting kits with Torx screws!
The very first thing to notice is that these mounting kits are full. They include mounting brackets for the cooler. On the opposite, you’ll discover an Intel backplate and the corresponding mounting arms. The identical applies to AMD platforms, with the added bonus of an offset mounting equipment. As a reminder, Noctua has introduced a discount in temperatures when utilizing it.
However, the primary innovation with these kits issues the mounting screws. Gone are the Philips crossheads, changed by Torx heads. According to Noctua, such a screw reduces the chance of the screwdriver “slipping” on the top. This occurs significantly usually once you don’t have the fitting angle and should screw in tight locations… When the configuration is already within the case, for instance.
In any case, these kits are already obtainable on Amazon.fr. Price: between €22 and €25, relying on coloration (black or silver). Note that the Torx 20 screwdriver is included, and can make your heatsink suitable with all sockets in the marketplace (AM5/4 – LGA-1851/1700/1200/115x).
