Caution: The supplied backplate will install over the mother-

board’s stock backplate, so the motherboard’s stock backplate

must not be taken off.

Attaching the backplate2

Place the backplate on the rear side of the motherboard 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 motherboard’s

stock backplate.

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

add the mounting bars.

Installing the mounting bars3

Caution: Choose the alignment of the mounting bars according

to the desired nal orientation of the cooler:

Orientation A Orientation B

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

are pointing outwards.

Fix the mounting bars using the 4 thumb screws.

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

excessive force (max. torque 0.6 Nm).

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

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

(3-4mm diameter) of NT-H1 onto the centre of the heatspreader.

Applying the thermal paste

Caution: Applying too much thermal paste will lower heat

conductivity and cooling performance!

Dear customer,

Congratulations on choosing the Noctua NH-U12S chromax.

black. The NH-U12S is the latest version of Noctua’s award-

winning NH-U12 coolers. First introduced in 2005, the

NH-U series has become 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-U12S!

Yours sincerely,

Roland Mossig, Noctua CEO

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 compatible with your motherboard. Please

also make sure that your PC case offers sufcient clearance

for the cooler and that there are no compatibility issues with

any other components (e.g. tall RAM modules). Double check

that the heatsink and fan clips do not make contact with

the VGA card or other PCIe cards. Noctua cannot be held

responsible for any damage or losses caused by compatibility

issues. Should you encounter any difculties, please check the

FAQs on our website (www.noctua.at/faqs) and don’t hesitate

to contact our support team at support@noctua.at.

Multilingual versions of this manual are available on our web-

site: www.noctua.at/manuals

Required mounting parts:

2x NM-IMB3 mounting bars1x NM-IBP2 backplate

4x NM-ITS1 thumb screws

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

motherboard tray, you rst have to remove the motherboard

from the case in order to be able to install the supplied

backplate.

Fastening the heatsink to the CPU5

Caution: Please rst take off the fans as well as the protection

cover at the bottom side of the heatsink.

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

Fan setup6

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

threads of the mounting bars. Perform 2-3 turns on each

screw, then repeat until both are fully tightened.

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

excessive force (max. torque 0.6 Nm).

While Noctua recommends using an NF-F12 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.

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

possibility of defects cannot be eliminated entirely. Therefore,

we aim at providing the highest possible level of reliability and

convenience by offering a warranty period of 6 years and

direct, fast and straightforward RMA service.

Warranty, support and FAQs!

As it is not possible to reliably calculate or control the forces

that act upon a system during transport (e.g. in shipping), we

generally recommend, for safety reasons, taking the fan off the

heatsink in order to reduce the weight below 700g. Noctua

cannot be held responsible for any damage that may arise

due to excessive stress during transport if you keep the fan

installed.

Transporting your system!

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

Depending on your CPU and the temperature inside the case,

you may interconnect the supplied NA-RC6 Low-Noise Adaptor

(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 motherboard manufacturer), in order to evade automatic

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

cooling performance is insufcient, please increase case ventila-

tion or remove the L.N.A.

Adding a second fan

The NH-U12S includes an extra set of fan clips and an extra

set of thicker anti-vibration pads for installing a second NF-

F12 fan in push/pull mode in order to further improve cooling

performance.

Please use the thicker anti-vibration pads on the rear NF-F12

fan for improved acoustics if space allows.

The y-cable supplied with the retail NF-F12 fan can be used

to control the speed of both fans via the same motherboard

fan header.
