Noctua NH-P1| Installation manual

Scan this code to display multilingual manuals on

you mobile phone.

If there are residual traces of thermal paste or thermal pads on 
your CPU, please clean them off first using the supplied NA-CW1 
cleaning wipe. Then press 4 small dots (

~

2mm diameter) near 

the corners plus 1 dot (

~

3-4mm diameter) of NT-H2 onto the 

centre of the heatspreader. 

Caution: Applying too much thermal paste will lower heat  
conductivity and cooling performance! 

While the NH-P1 has been designed for passive operation, its 
cooling performance can be significantly improved by adding a 
near-silent low-speed fan such as the NF-A12x25 LS-PWM. In 
order to install the fan using the supplied fan mounting clips, 
please first decide on which side of the cooler you would like to 
install the fan and identify the correct hole set (1/2/3):

Caution: Gently tighten the screws until they stop, but do not use 
excessive force (max. torque 0.6 Nm).

Then insert the tips of the fan clips into the correct hole set.

Place the fan on the heatsink and pull the clips over the fan to 
hold it in place.

Connect the fan to one of the fan headers of your motherboard.

Make sure that the curved sides of the mounting bars are pointing 
inwards.
