Reusing a heatsink? Z97 > Z790

[badbiddy]

I have a Noctua NHD15 on my trusty old Z97 motherboard which has started to give me booting problems so I'm doing my 7yr upgrade...

Is there a part I need to buy to fit the heatsink from my Z97 setup on a Z790 ?

Thanks

It looks like you will need a new mounting kit so either one of these. I believe that OCUK have just copy/pasted the pictures and that the Chromax version is actually black as I can't see any other difference between the two kits.

My basket at OcUK:

• 1 x Noctua LGA 1700 Socket NM-i17xx-MP83 Mounting Kit (SKU: HS-03X-NC) = £8.99
• 1 x Noctua LGA 1700 Socket NM-i17xx-MP83 Chromax.Black Mounting Kit (SKU: HS-03V-NC) = £9.95

Total: £22.42 (includes delivery: £3.48)​

If you have your D15 invoice and your invoice for either a LGA1700 motherboard or CPU then Noctua will send you one for FREE inc postage!

Mine arrived amazingly 2 days after I sent the request. It's hard to praise Noctua too much for this level of customer service.

Agreed they are very good with customer service, as back in the day they sent out a bracket for me very quickly.
