Nasty incompatibility surprise

Post by Tilltech » Mon May 15, 2017 7:19 am

I was just finishing up composing all the components when I found out that NOCTUA NH-D15S is not compatible with AM4, i.e. Ryzen.

I don't know what to do now, I spent hours looking for a CPU cooler and that was by far the best air cooler for mATX case like Fractal Mini C.

Did you buy the AM4 version? Noctua NH-D15 SE-AM4.

If you didn't buy the AM4 version, contact noctua they will send you a free AM4 mount for the NH-D15.

Now if you did buy the AM4 version and still not able to mount it, contact noctua or return it to the retailer you bought it.

That's not NOCTUA NH-D15S.

As i said before, contact noctua, tell them that you have D15S and you need the AM4 mount, they will ask you for your proof of purchase (invoice) and they will send you a free AM4 mount.

Ah, I see, you need to fill a special form with attached invoices for both the fan and the AM4 motherboard.

I didn't buy it yet, I said I was composing the list.

If you didn't buy it yet, you don't need forms, just buy the correct version.
