Noctua Shows Off LGA2066-ready Retention Modules

[btarunr]

Noctua showed off protoypes of variants of its various high-end CPU coolers, which come with support for Intel's Core X family socket LGA2066 processors. While LGA2066 has a higher pin-count, it has the same exact CPU cooler mount-hole spacing as LGA2011(v3), and as such, any LGA2011-compatible cooler should run on LGA2066. All Core i7 LGA2011(v3) chips are either 140W or below. Noctua on its part, is confident that that all its LGA2011(v3)-compatible coolers run on LGA2066 by default, and is willing to giveaway LGA2066-supporting SecuFirm 2 retention modules for free, for users of older Noctua heatsinks which can handle such high thermal loads.

I hope my D14 is compatible with Skylake-X. It has been going strong for past 6+ years.

As long as it has the bracket for the LGA2011, it should be compatible. Seems that the hole spacing is the same as in the older HEDT sockets.

so on the intel side just need a new bracket if you dont the 2011, sweet

Did you even read the news post?
