You have to contact Noctua and fill out a form along with proof of purchase of Noctua Cooler and motherboard and they will send you a new mounting kit.
For those of us who don't have the proof of purchase anymore, we'll just have to buy the new mounting kit. Or leave the older HSF on an old system . . .
If they haven't bought the cooler yet, then they can wait for one which will fit AM4.
Right. Makes me glad I haven't invested in something like an nh-d15 yet.
Yeah..... and why do people put lift kits and swamper tires on 2WD pickup trucks? Why buy a Chevy truck when Ford is better? Or is the Chevy actually better? Or since GPU's really are far more important for modern games -- who actually cares what CPU a person is using.
The best part about overpaying for a cooling solution is that, at least until AM4, AMD users have been able to carry over their HSFs to (nearly) every new socket. So my nh-d14 that was purchased for an AM3 rig still fits my FM2+ board, no problem. Those lift kits and swamper tires . . . well . . .
Besides, big honkin coolers let you explore the limits of overclocking more easily than not-so-big, not-so-honkin HSFs. I figure might bought me an extra 100-200 mhz out of my 7700k, at least. It's impractical, but it's fun.
I know some people who flat out will never buy Intel -- because in their eyes they are the evil empire and they will lose their rebel status. Seriously.
Oh come on now, nobody acquires rebel status for sticking with AMD products. You either like Intel enough to want to do business with them, or you don't. Intel's engineers have turned out some inspired work over the years. Their sales and marketing, however . . . meh. That topic's been done to death.
