Noctua NM-AM5-L9aL9i mounting-kit

The NM-AM5-L9aL9i is a SecuFirm2™ mounting upgrade kit that allows Noctua NH-L9a, NH-L9a-AM4 and NH-L9i CPU coolers (see detailed compatibility information) to be upgraded to AMD’s AM5 platform. True to the SecuFirm2™ tradition, it combines outstanding reliability, optimal contact pressure and easy, straightforward installation in order to enable Noctua users to continue using their heatsinks on AMD’s latest Ryzen processors.

Trusted SecuFirm2™ quality
Over the years, SecuFirm2™ has become synonymous with impeccable long-term stability and flawless craftsmanship. Enthusiast users and industry clients alike trust the time-tested quality of Noctua's professional mounting systems.

Standard AMD backplate
Minimising unnecessary waste and facilitating the installation procedure, the NM-AM5-L9aL9i kit installs to the stock AMD backplate that is pre-installed on the motherboard. Thanks to screws that go through the threads of the backplate and into the cooler’s brackets from the rear side of the motherboard, installation is a breeze.

Tailor-made for AM5
Aiming to cut costs, many manufacturers use cross-platform parts for both AMD and Intel, which can cause compatibility issues. The NM-AM5-L9aL9i has been tailor-made for AM5 in order to ensure optimal compatibility and ease of installation.

Backwards compatibility
Noctua CPU coolers are renowned for being safe, long-term investments that can be used for several CPU generations. Accordingly, even coolers that are 10 years or older can be upgraded to the latest AMD Ryzen platform using this mounting kit.

Sustainability
Using a CPU cooler across several platform generations instead of buying a new heatsink for each generation is not only economical, it also helps to reduce unnecessary waste and save precious resources. By upgrading rather than replacing your cooler, you’re actively contributing to a more sustainable PC industry.
