Required mounting parts:

Dear customer,

Congratulations on choosing the Noctua NH-U14S.

The NH-U14S is the first 140mm model in Noctua’s award-winning

NH-U series. First introduced in 2005, the NH-U series has be-

come a standard choice for premium quality quiet CPU coolers and

won more than 400 awards and recommendations from leading

international hardware websites and magazines.

Enjoy your NH-U14S!

Yours sincerely,

This manual will guide you through the installation process of the

SecuFirm2™ mounting system step by step. Prior to installing

the cooler, please consult the compatibility list on our website

(www.noctua.at/compatibility) and verify that the cooler is fully

compatiblewithyourmotherboard.Shouldyouencounteranydiffi-

culties,pleasechecktheFAQsonourwebsite(www.noctua.at/faqs)

and don’t hesitate to contact our support team at

support@noctua.at. Noctua cannot be held responsible for any

damage or losses caused by compatibility issues.

Removing the mainboard

In case you want to use the cooler on an assembled system and

your case doesn’t have a cut-out at the rear side of the mainboard

tray, you first have to remove the mainboard from the case in

order to be able to install the supplied backplate.

Step 1

Caution: Make sure that the curved sides of the mounting bars are

pointing outwards.

Applying thermal paste

If there are residual traces of thermal paste or thermal pads on

your CPU, please clean them off first. Then press a small drop

(4-5mm diameter) of NT-H1 onto the centre of the heatspreader.

Caution: Applying too much thermal paste will lower heat

conductivity and cooling performance!

Step 4

Place the backplate on the rear side of the mainboard so that the

bolts stick through the mounting holes.

Caution: Please make sure that the three cut-outs in the

supplied backplate align with the screws of the mainboard’s stock

backplate.

Installing the mounting bars

Caution:

Choose the alignment of the mounting bars according to the desired

final orientation of the cooler:

Step 3

First put the plastic spacers onto the bolts of the backplate, then

add the mounting bars.

Fix the mounting bars using the 4 thumb screws.

Caution: Gently tighten the screws until they stop, but don’t use

excessive force.

Attaching the backplate

Caution: The supplied backplate will install over the mainboard’s

stock backplate, so the mainboard’s stock backplate must not be

taken off.

Step 2

Fastening the heatsink to the CPU

Caution: Please first take off the fan as well as the protection cover

at the bottom side of the heatsink.

Step 5

Then put the heatsink onto the CPU and screw it to the screw

threads of the mounting bars.

Caution: Tighten the screws until they stop.

Adding a second fan

The NH-U14S includes an extra set of fan clips and an extra set of

thicker anti-vibration pads for installing a second NF-A15 fan in

push/pull mode in order to further improve cooling performance.

Please use the thicker anti-vibration pads on the rear NF-A-15 fan

for improved acoustics if space allows. The y-cable supplied with

the retail NF-A15 fan can be used to control the speed of both fans

via the same mainboard fan header.

Please note that while the NF-A15 fan included with the NH-

U14S runs at 1500rpm, Noctua recommends using the standard

1200rpm retail version as a rear fan in push/pull mode as the

combination of 1500rpm at the front and 1200rpm at the rear

will provide the best balance of performance and acoustics.

If you would like to run both fans at the same speed, please use

the supplied Low-Noise Adaptor on the front fan to reduce the

speed to 1200rpm.

Even with high-grade products and strict quality control, the pos-

sibility of defects cannot be eliminated entirely. Therefore, we aim

at providing the highest possible level of reliability and conveni-

ence by offering a warranty period of 6 years and direct, fast and

straightforward RMA service.

Should you encounter any problems with your NH-U14S, please

don’t hesitate to contact our support team ([email protected]).

Connect the fan to the mainboard’s CPU fan header.

Depending on your CPU and the temperature inside the case, you

may interconnect the supplied NA-RC7 Low-Noise Adapter (L.N.A.)

in order to further reduce the fan’s operating noise.

Caution: When using the L.N.A., check the temperature of your

CPU using appropriate software (e.g. the respective applications

of your mainboard manufacturer), in order to evade automatic

throttling of the CPU due to the increased temperature. If the cool-

ing performance is insufficient, please increase case ventilation or

remove the L.N.A.

Reattach the fan to the heatsink using the supplied steel clips:

Step 6

While Noctua recommends using an NF-A15 fan for best results in

dual fan mode, the extra set of fan clips can also be used to install

most other fans. In this case, please put the supplied self-adhesive

anti-vibration strips onto the heatsink to avoid vibrations being

transmitted to the cooler.

Caution: The SecuFirm2™ mounting system requires a back-

plate, which is preinstalled on most AMD mainboards. If your

mainboard doesn’t have a backplate, please contact our support

team at support@noctua.at.

Removing the retention module

If your mainboard uses a retention module for CPU cooler instal-

lation, please remove it first. The SecuFirm2™ mounting system

will install directly to your mainboard’s stock backplate on the rear

side of the socket.

Caution: Make sure that the curved sides of the mounting bars are

pointing outwards.

Caution: Tighten the screws until they stop.
