Noctua NM-AM4 Mounting Kit

Noctua’s NM-AM4 Mounting Kit is an inexpensive way of adding AM4 compatibility to your existing Noctua CPU cooler.

Continuing Noctua’s tradition of supplying customers with its premium-class SecuFirm2 mountings free of charge, the NM-AM4 kit allows Noctua users to upgrade their coolers to AMD’s AM4 socket (Ryzen). It is backwards compatible with most Noctua coolers since 2005* and has been designed to combine outstanding reliability, optimal contact pressure and easy, straightforward installation. Bringing the trusted SecuFirm2 quality to AMD’s AM4 platform, the NM-AM4 is an enthusiast-grade mounting kit that meets the highest demands in safety, performance and ease of use.

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.

Perfect Contact Pressure

SecuFirm2 mounting systems use high-grade coil springs to achieve perfect contact pressure. No guesswork regarding how far to tighten the mounting screws, no risk of damaging the socket with excessive pressure!

Integrated Fastening Brackets

Noctuas SecuFirm2 systems feature fully integrated fastening brackets with pre-fixed pressure screws and springs, which greatly facilitates the installation process. No fiddling with loose screws and springs!

Tailor-made for AM4

In order to cut costs, many manufacturers use cross-platform parts for both Intel and AMD, which can cause compatibility issues. Noctua’s SecuFirm2 mounting system for AM4 has been tailor-made for this socket in order to ensure optimal compatibility.

Cooler can be installed turned by 90°

Coming with two different sets of mounting bars, the SecuFirm2 system allows the users to choose the orientation of the cooler according to their preferences in order to ensure best compatibility and optimal alignment with the airflow path inside the case. This is obviously only possible if there is sufficient space around the CPU socket and is therefore not 100% guaranteed.

Backwards compatibility

Noctua CPU coolers are renowned for being safe, long-term investments that can be used for several CPU generations. Accordingly, the SecuFirm2 kit is fully backwards compatible with most Noctua coolers since 2005, so even 10-year-old coolers can be made compatible with the latest AMD socket.

Owners of Noctua CPU coolers can obtain the NM-AM4 Mounting-Kit free of charge via this form. A proof of purchase (electronic version, photo or scan of the invoice) of both a Noctua CPU cooler and either a socket AM4 mainboard or socket AM4 CPU are required.
