Will the Noctua NH-U12A work with the ASRock B760M Pro RS?
Yes. Both use Intel LGA1700 cooler mounting.
Both records are reviewed against the manufacturers' sources; sources last checked 2026-10-14. Informational only: confirm with the manufacturer before buying.
Why
- ✓ Both use Intel LGA1700 cooler mounting.
Good to know
- Coolers designed for LGA1200/115x do not fit without LGA1700 hardware. Noctua sends free NM-i17xx-MP83 / NM-i17xx-MP78 upgrade kits (by mounting pitch); Corsair sells the CW-8960091 LGA1700 Retrofit Kit for coolers such as the H150i RGB PRO XT.
- Noctua: the original NH-L9i cannot be used on LGA1700/LGA1851 (it would sit too low); use the NH-L9i-17xx instead. The NH-L9i-17xx must not be used on LGA115x/LGA1200.
- To check a Noctua cooler: if the box specs mention LGA1700, or the Intel parts include the NM-IBP4 backplate, LGA1700/LGA1851 parts are included.

- Intel LGA1700 cooler mounting: CPU cooler mounting on LGA1700 (12th-14th Gen) boards; different hole spacing and stack-up height from LGA1200/115x. (Noctua: Intel LGA1700 - all you need to know).
