    The Noctua NM-i17xx-MP78 chromax.black is a black mounting upgrade kit for compatible Noctua CPU coolers with 78 mm mounting pitch, enabling installation on Intel LGA1851 and LGA1700 systems. It suits cooler owners upgrading to these platforms who want to keep using their existing heatsink.

    Recommended For

    • PC builders moving a compatible Noctua cooler with 78mm mounting pitch to an Intel LGA1700 or LGA1851 system, who want to keep using their existing heatsink.
    • Owners of a compatible 78mm-pitch Noctua cooler who are rebuilding or upgrading an Intel desktop and need the matching LGA1700/LGA1851 mounting hardware.
    • Builders using a Noctua chromax.black cooler who want the mounting bars and thumb screws to match its all-black finish.

    Real-World Use Scenarios

    • When moving a compatible Noctua cooler to an LGA1700 or LGA1851 build, use this kit to fit it to the new socket and keep using the cooler, provided the cooler is listed as compatible.
    • When an older build’s original Intel mounting parts are missing or don’t support the new socket, this kit provides the mounting hardware for a compatible 78mm-pitch Noctua cooler; check the cooler’s exact compatibility before ordering.
    • During a PC rebuild or motherboard replacement for LGA1700 or LGA1851, use the kit to install a compatible Noctua cooler with the socket-specific mounting hardware instead of replacing the cooler just because its old brackets don’t fit.
    • When assembling a system with a chromax.black Noctua heatsink, choose this version for black mounting bars and thumb screws that better match the cooler’s appearance.
    • When installing the cooler, follow Noctua’s LGA17xx instructions to fit the backplate and mounting bars; the kit supports installation, but it does not by itself improve the cooler’s thermal performance.
