Recently, I upgraded my PC from a LGA 775 motherboard and a Q9550 to a i5-3570k and a LGA 1155 motherboard (see sig). I had been using a very old Noctua NHU9 cooler I purchase over six years ago when I was on a socket 939 AMD setup. I was wondering whether I would have to go buy another cooler when I found out Noctua made a adapter NM-13 for attaching recent NHU9 coolers to LGA 1155 motherboards. When I asked Noctua, not only did they tell me the adapter was backwards compatible to coolers as old as mine, they actually sent me a complimentary adapter since I was an owner of a Noctua cooler, even a six year old one.
I am amazed at the fact that they make it possible to attach old coolers to my new setup. Even more, their customer service is AMAZING! I just got the adapter today and I will be posting picks of the setup.
Now I know. If I ever need another cooler in another rig, make mine Noctua!
