What do we know about the Kit?

For its part, Noctua confirmed that the new Intel LGA2066 socket will include the same mounting mechanism for the heatsinks as for the LGA 2011 socket, which will allow all CPU heatsinks that support LGA 2011 to also be supported by Intel Skylake-X processors.. This means that much of the CPU coolers will support this platform without having to change the mounting mechanism.

Because the heatsink mounting mechanism is identical on the LGA2011 and LGA2066 socket, Noctua's SecuFirm2 mounting systems for LGA2011 also support Intel's upcoming X299 HEDT (High End Desktop) platform for Skylake-X and Kaby Lake processors X Most current Noctua heatsinks already include SecuFirm2 mounting systems for LGA2011 and therefore can be used on LGA2066 motherboards without updates or modifications.

As we already know, most of Noctua's heatsinks already support LGA 2011. This means that not many heatsinks will need this type of upgrade kits.

What do I need to order the Kit?

To request the NM-I2011 kit or the NM-I20xx kit, a proof of purchase (either ticket, invoice, etc…) of a Noctua CPU cooler and LGA2066 motherboard and / or LGA2066 processor will be required.

What do I do if I lost the purchase receipt?

If you are one of the users who have lost the bill for their Noctua heatsink, you can write your full name and the current date on which you are going to take the photo of the heatsink on a sheet of paper, that is, you have to take a photo of the paper Along with the CPU cooler, this can serve as proof of purchase. For its part, Noctua will give free updates to the mounting kit for the LGA 2066 Skylake-X platform from Intel. The kit can also be purchased in stores for a reduced price.
