Noctua NM-AM4-UXS - processor cooler mounting kit

The Noctua NM-AM4-UXS is a specialized hardware accessory intended to facilitate the installation of specific legacy Noctua CPU coolers onto motherboards utilizing the AMD AM4 socket architecture. This kit allows users of the NH-U14S, NH-U12S, and NH-U9S cooler models to transition to the AM4 platform without requiring a complete cooler replacement, supporting current CPU series designed for this socket type. It is engineered to ensure the cooler base maintains optimal, stable contact pressure with the integrated heat spreader (IHS) of the CPU, which is fundamental for effective thermal management under load.

This mounting solution incorporates the proprietary SecuFirm2 methodology, recognized for simplifying the installation process while securing the heatsink assembly effectively. The design prioritizes long-term mechanical stability and aims to minimize the risk of uneven pressure application, factors that directly influence thermal transfer efficiency across the contact surface. Constructed primarily from durable metal components finished in silver, the kit ensures robust integration with the motherboard and CPU socket backplate. It is supplied as a complete set of brackets and fasteners required for the socket conversion.
