Noctua NH-U9S Review

Installation Process

In order to demonstrate the installation process for NH-U9S we are installing the cooler on the Intel LGA2011 socket.


STEP 1
Attach four double-sided standoff screws to corners of CPU socket plate.


STEP 2
Next, the two curved brackets must be installed. The placement of these brackets will depend on the desired orientation –we opt for a traditional position of having the heatsink/fans facing the rear exhaust and therefore use the above configuration.

Once the brackets are in place, thumbscrews need to be attached.


STEP 03
Finally, we need to apply thermal paste to the CPU and then slot the cooler over the CPU/socket, lining up the screws and then tightening up.

It’s important to tighten these screws in sequence – making one turn on one screw and then another on the other. By doing this, even pressure is applied.

Overall the installation is very easy. Noctua’s SecuFirm2 is a distinguished component of the feature-set and is both a reliable and efficient way to install a CPU cooler.
