Then put the heatsink onto the CPU and screw it to the screw
threads of the mounting bars.
Caution: Tighten the screws until they stop.
Fastening the heatsink to the CPU
Caution: Please first take off the fan as well as the protection
cover at the bottom side of the heatsink.

Warranty, Support and FAQs
Adding a second fan
The NH-D15S includes an extra set of fan clips for installing a
second fan to the front fin stack in push/pull mode in order to
further improve cooling performance. The fan clips support:
• Round frame 140mm fans with 120mm mounting (105mm
hole spacing) such as the NF-A15 PWM or the NF-P14r redux
models
• Standard 120mm fans (105mm hole spacing) such as the
NF-A12, NF-F12 or NF-P12 redux models
Caution:
• It is not possible to install 140mm fans with square frames
(124.5mm hole spacing) such as the NF-A14 or NF-P14s redux.
• If you add a second fan to the front fin stack, it will sit above
the RAM modules. Please verify that you have sufficient room
inside your case before adding a second fan. For example, if you
add a 140mm fan and use RAM modules that are 50mm high,
you will need 190mm of clearance, adding a 120mm fan while
using 50mm RAM requires 170mm, etc.
Fan Setup
Step 4
Reattach the fan using the supplied steel clips:
1.
Connect the fan to the mainboard’s CPU fan header. Depending
on your CPU and the temperature inside the case, you may
interconnect the supplied NA-RC7 Low-Noise Adapter (L.N.A.)
in order to further reduce the fan’s 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 mainboard manufacturer), in order to evade automatic
throttling of the CPU due to the increased temperature. If the
cooling performance is insufficient, please increase case ventila-
tion or remove the L.N.A.s.
