Connect the fan to the motherboard’s CPU fan header.
Depending on your CPU and the temperature inside the case,
you may interconnect the supplied NA-RC7 Low-Noise Adaptor
(L.N.A.) in order to further reduce the fan’s operating noise.
Caution: When using the L.N.A., 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..

Applying the thermal paste
3
If there are residual traces of thermal paste or thermal pads
on your CPU, please clean them off first. 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!
Caution:
Please first take off the protection cover at the bottom
side of the heatsink.
Then put the heatsink onto the CPU and screw it to the screw
threads of the mounting bars. Note that you can reach through the
blades of the fan using the supplied screw driver. There is thus no
need to take off the fan for installation.
Perform 2-3 turns on each screw, then repeat until both are fully
tightened.
