Picked up a DH15 and will be installing on a 1366 I've requested the NM-I3 kit from noctua. But can any tell me what the difference in the mounting is? I'm struggling to see looking at the dh15 / dh14 manuals
I'd suscpect it's only the backplate that will be different. I wouldn't think Noctuas has made their mounting any different.
but here's what they write:
"Is the cooler compatible with LGA775 and LGA1366?
The cooler does not support LGA775 and LGA1366 out of the box, but can be made compatible using the NM-I3 mounting kit. Noctua provides the NM-I3 kit free of charge if a proof of purchase (scan, photo or electronic copy of the invoice) of the cooler and an LGA775 or LGA1366 motherboard or CPU are presented. In order to install the cooler using the NM-I3 kit, please first unscrew the center screw of the original one-piece fastening bracket (you can reach through the fin stack using the long screw driver supplied with the cooler) and remove it. Then install the two fastening brackets of the NM-I3 kit as described in the NM-I3 installation manual."
