Support & FAQs
Caution: Tighten the screws until they stop.
Caution: Make sure to use the correct holes on the mounting bars.
Fix the mounting bars using the 4 thumb screws.
Step 5:
Applying thermal paste
If there are residual traces of thermal paste or thermal pads
on your CPU, please clean them off first. Then press a small
drop (4-5mm diameter) of NT-H1 onto the centre of the heat-
spreader.
Caution: Applying too much thermal paste will lower the heat
conductivity and cooling performance!
Step 6:
Fastening the heatsink to the CPU
Caution: Please take off the protection cover at the bottom side
of the heatsink first!
Take off the centre fan. 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.
Caution: Make sure that the curved sides of the mounting bars
are pointing outwards.
Connect the fan(s) to the mainboard, power supply or fan con-
troller. Use the supplied 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 Ultra-Low-Noise Adapters
(U.L.N.A.) in order to further reduce the fans operating noise.
Use the black adaptor for the NF-P14 140mm fan and the
blue adaptor for the NF-P12 120mm fan.
Caution: Never use one adaptor for both fans by putting it
before the y-split cable.
Caution: When using the U.L.N.A., 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 ventilation or remove the U.L.N.A.
Attaching the fan
Step 7:
Attach the fans to the heatsink using the steel clips. The
NF-P12 120mm fan can be moved upwards or left off in order
to improve compatibility. If you don’t run the NF-P12 on the
CPU cooler, you can use the supplied fan screws or silicone
Vibration-Compensators to install it inside your case.
