NM-AMB15

The NM-AMB15 are offset AM5 mounting bars for Noctua CPU coolers with 78mm mounting pitch that require their mounting points at the east and west side of the socket for optimal orientation, such as the popular NH-U14S, NH-U12A, NH-U12S or NH-U9S (see detailed compatibility list). By offsetting the heatsink 7mm towards the south side of the socket, more pressure is applied right above the CPU’s CCD(s). This improved contact exactly at the processor’s hotspot can significantly reduce CPU temperatures with typical improvements in the range of 1-3°C. Replacing the standard mounting bars and re-using the original spacers and screws, the NM-AMB15 are a simple yet highly efficient measure for optimising thermal performance on AM5-based AMD Ryzen CPUs.
