Tis nice of Noctua and very good customer service. Kinda makes the premium price worth it ay.

To anyone who is considering this: I can really recommend this mounting. Although you can't take out your CPU while the mounting is still on it's incredibly easy to use and especially useful for transporting the computer without having that heavy heatsink on.

Hmm, that's odd, the noctua page for this kit says the following:

Maximum Convenience for Enthusiasts

Thanks to the use of separate mounting bars, uninstalling and reinstalling the cooler only takes two screws. Loosening two thumbscrews gives full access to the socket without the backplate falling off, making it a child's play to change CPUs even if the mainboard is installed inside a case.

Hmmm that should indeed be possible if you remove one of the brackets the cooler attaches to. Never tried that tbh.

Intel need to get their act together tbh.

Good stuff from Noctua, but it's all a little unnecessary.

 

[Freak]

unnecessary??? To provide clamps so that it increases socket compatability - extending their reach further?

Think a little deeper..

Unnecessary that Intel moved the holes.
