4 ADAPTABLE MOUNTING

LIKE ALL OF NOCTUA’S excellent cooling solutions, the NH-P1 comes with a variety of brackets for installation on different motherboard configurations. We’ll need the LGA 1200 Intel bracket, which is clearly labeled. To install this, fit the Intel backplate on the underside of the motherboard as shown by the instructions, then flip it over to put the black plastic risers on each screw mount. Once the risers are in place, add the two mounting bars so that they curve outwards from the CPU socket, and secure them with the provided thumbscrews. These can be tightened with the NH-P1’s included screwdriver, which you will also need to install the cooler itself. Ensure that the brackets are secure without any wobble, but don’t over-tighten the screws as you could risk damaging your components.
