SecuFirm2 coolers?

[Sarra]

I have a NH-D15S that I would like to repurpose to a new build. The old machine still needs a CPU cooler. It's a Haswell Xeon E3 1280V3. A D15S is MASSIVE OVERKILL. Yes. I know that. So, is there a smaller HSF from Noctua I can get to replace the NH-D15S without having to pull the entire board and replace the mounting hardware?

 

I've tried searching for compatibility lists, but everyone just lists CPU socket compatibility, which really, really isn't helpful. >_>

U12s redux could be a solution, only about USD$50 and uses same system.

Very good, thank you. :3

So, quick update.

 

I finally got off my butt and swapped the D15 out for the U12S Redux.

 

The U12S wouldn't go in after I pulled the D15, the mounting brackets were too far apart. I pulled the mounting brackets, swapped in the brackets the U12S came with, and voila, it worked just fine.

 

I then had to remove the U12S brackets from the AM4 system, dig my old D15S brackets out (I saved them, thankfully), and swap those.

 

Long story short, the brackets are different, but the rest of the hardware kit is identical, the standoff height is the same, same screws, same backplate for Intel. So, the Xeon went from 60C full load with a D15S to... 60C with the U9S redux. Hah.
