Installation:
Installing
the Noctua heatsinks was very easy; I will now show
you how it’s done.
Here’s
the hardware needed to mount the Noctua Heat sinks
to a socket 939 system. Noctua provides a metal
backplate to add some stability to the rather heavy
coolers. You can also see the U-shaped brackets
needed for the installation and the screws and springs
needed.
First you
will have to mount the brackets onto the heatsink
using the small screws provided with the cooler.
Then align
the Heat sink with the backplate and screw it on
using the supplied screws and springs. Don’t
forget to apply some thermal paste, I didn’t
use the one supplied with the cooler I decided to
use Arctic Silver 5.
Mounting the fan was very
simple, just use the provided fan steel clips and
snap the fan on. Like this:
