Caution: Gently tighten the screws until they stop, but do not
use excessive force (max. torque 0.6 Nm).
Caution: Note that depending on the cooler model, it may be
necessary to remove the fan(s) in order to reach the mount-
ing 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.

If there are residual traces of thermal paste or thermal pads on
your CPU, please clean them off first. Then apply 5 small dots
of thermal paste (e.g. Noctua NT-H1 or NT-H2) onto the CPU
(4 dots with ~2mm diameter near the corners plus 1 dot with
3-4mm diameter in the centre) as shown below:

Caution: Applying too much thermal paste will lower heat
conductivity and cooling performance!
Reattach the fan(s) to the heatsink (if removed during the
installation process) and connect the fan(s) to the motherboard
as described in the cooler manual.

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.
Transporting your system
!
Fix the mounting bars using the four NM-ITS1 thumb screws.
Caution: Gently tighten the screws until they stop, but do not
use excessive force (max. torque 0.6 Nm).
