Warranty, Support and FAQs
!
As it is not possible to reliably calculate or control the forces
that act upon a system during transport (e.g. in shipping), we gen-
erally recommend, for safety reasons, taking the cooler off.
Noctua cannot be held responsible for any damage that may arise
due to excessive stress during transport if you keep the heatsink
installed.
Transporting your system
!
Use the heatsink with the centre fan only in order to guarantee best
compatibility with tall RAM modules. Add the second fan to the
front fin-stack for further improved cooling performance.
Connect the fan(s) to the motherboard’s CPU fan header(s).
If necessary, use the supplied NA-YC1 y-split cable to connect both
fans to one fan header.
Depending on your CPU and the temperature inside the case,
you may interconnect the supplied NA-RC7 Low-Noise Adaptors
(L.N.A.) in order to further reduce the fans’ operating noise.
Caution: Never use one adaptor for both fans by putting it before
the y-split cable.
Caution: When using the L.N.A.s, check the temperature of your
CPU using appropriate software (e.g. the respective applications
of your motherboard manufacturer), in order to evade automatic
throttling of the CPU due to the increased temperature. If the
cooling performance is insufficient, please increase case ventilation
or remove the L.N.A.s.

Caution: Gently tighten the screws until they stop, but don’t use
excessive force (max. torque 0.6 Nm).
Then put the heatsink onto the CPU and screw it to the screw
threads of the mounting bars. Perform 2-3 turns on each screw,
then repeat until both are fully tightened.
