Noctua NH-U12S CPU Cooler Review

Noctua thoughtfully supplies different installation guides for AMD and Intel installation to prevent confusion.  These are located in the boxes dedicated to each mounting kit.  We will be documenting the installation procedure on an Intel Socket 2011 motherboard.

First of all, we have to attach the retention screws into the CPU cooler bracket built into the motherboard.

Then, the retention bars can be secured down using the thumb-nuts provided.

Next, the heatsink can be secured down onto the motherboard using the spring screws on either side of the heatsink.

The fan simply clips into place using a pair of wire clips.  There is an additional set of clips provided should you want to install a fan on the other side of the cooler.
