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
generally recommend, for safety reasons, taking off coolers
with a total weight of more than 700g (incl. fan).
If the weight of the heatsink without fan is below 700g and
the total weight including fan is above 700g, we recommend
taking off the fan from the heatsink in order to reduce the
weight below 700g.
Noctua cannot be held responsible for any damage that may
arise due to excessive stress during transport if you keep the
heatsink installed.

Fastening the heatsink to the CPU

Caution: Gently tighten the screws until they stop, but do not
use excessive force (max. torque 0.6 Nm).
Caution: Applying too much thermal paste will lower heat
conductivity and cooling performance!

Caution: Note that depending on the cooler model, it may
be necessary to remove the fan(s) in order to reach the
mounting screws.
If you’re using the cooler for the first time, please also take off
the protection cover at the bottom side of the heatsink first!
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.
