Installation
While most CPU coolers arrive with paste pre-applied or a small tube to use, we try and remove any variance from our testing and use Noctua’s NT-H1 thermal paste instead. A small grain of rice sized blob is enough to cover our Intel Core i7 3930K CPU.

You can also see the mounting points in each corner, with the socket-tool attached to the top-right.



After attaching the Intel bracket to the flanks of the cooler, it’s as simple as tightening each corner, a few turns at a time, until the cooler is evenly attached to the CPU. Making sure to tighten each corner equally is important to ensure an even layer of thermal paste on the underside for optimal thermal transfer.



Finally, clip on the fan, plug the PWM and RGB connections in and we’re good to go. Don’t forget to connect up the RGB connector to the MOLEX cable from your PSU at this point though.
