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.

Standard AMD backplate

Minimising unnecessary waste and facilitating the installation procedure, the NM-AM5-L9aL9i kit installs to the stock AMD backplate that is pre-installed on the motherboard. Thanks to screws that go through the threads of the backplate and into the cooler’s brackets from the rear side of the motherboard, installation is a breeze.

Tailor-made for AM5/AM4

Aiming to cut costs, many manufacturers use cross-platform parts for both AMD and Intel, which can cause compatibility issues. The NM-AM5-L9aL9i has been tailor-made for AM5 in order to ensure optimal compatibility and ease of installation.

Backwards compatibility

Noctua CPU coolers are renowned for being safe, long-term investments that can be used for several CPU generations. Accordingly, even coolers that are 10 years or older can be upgraded to the latest AMD Ryzen platform using this mounting kit.

Sustainability

Using a CPU cooler across several platform generations instead of buying a new heatsink for each generation is not only economical, it also helps to reduce unnecessary waste and save precious resources. By upgrading rather than replacing your cooler, you’re actively contributing to a more sustainable PC industry.
