Can I Use My Noctua Cooler from an Intel CPU on a New AM5 CPU?

It's really likely you'll need a different bracket for your cooler. But don’t stress too much – Noctua support is usually pretty helpful, and the brackets are often inexpensive, so getting a new one shouldn’t break the bank.

The mounting hardware for Intel and AMD is different, so you'll definitely need a new bracket for your Noctua cooler to fit the AM5 CPU. If the cooler was purchased recently, it might have come with an AM5 bracket in the box. If not, reaching out to Noctua's support could help; they might send you one if you can show proof of purchase.
