If there are residual traces of thermal paste or thermal pads on
your CPU, please clean them off first using the supplied NA-CW1
cleaning wipe. Then press 4 small dots (
~
2mm diameter) near
the corners plus 1 dot (
~
3-4mm diameter) of NT-H2 onto the
centre of the heatspreader.
Caution: Applying too much thermal paste will lower heat
conductivity and cooling performance!
While the NH-P1 has been designed for passive operation, its
cooling performance can be significantly improved by adding a
near-silent low-speed fan such as the NF-A12x25 LS-PWM. In
order to install the fan using the supplied fan mounting clips,
please first decide on which side of the cooler you would like to
install the fan and identify the correct hole set (1/2/3):
