Which Noctua CPU coolers are compatible with 13th generation Intel Core CPUs (Raptor Lake)?
Intel's 13th generation Core processors (code name Raptor Lake-S) use the same LGA1700 socket as the 12th generation models (Alder Lake-S). Therefore, all Noctua heatsinks and mounting kits that support LGA1700 can be used on 13th generation Core processors and don't require any upgrades. Many older heatsink models can be upgraded using the NM-i17xx-MP83 and NM-i17xx-MP78 mounting kits. Please refer to our socket compatibility overview in our compatibility section to see which Noctua CPU cooler models support socket LGA1700 out of the box or via mounting upgrade kits.
