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.
Fastening the heatsink to the CPU

Reattach the centre fan and, optionally, install the second fan (in
grey) using the supplied steel clips:
1.
3.
2.
Use the heatsink with the centre fan only in order to guarantee
best compatibility with tall RAM modules. Add the second fan to
the front fin-stack for further improved cooling performance.
Connect the fan(s) to the mainboard’s CPU fan header(s). If
necessary, use the supplied NA-YC1 y-split cable to connect both
fans to one fan header.
Depending on your CPU and the temperature inside the case,
you may interconnect the supplied NA-RC7 Low-Noise Adaptors
(L.N.A.) in order to further reduce the fans’ operating noise.
Caution: Never use one adaptor for both fans by putting it before
the y-split cable.
Caution: When using the L.N.A.s, 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
cooling performance is insufficient, please increase case ventila-
tion or remove the L.N.A.s.

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 cooler off.
Noctua cannot be held responsible for any damage that may arise
due to excessive stress during transport if you keep the heatsink
installed.
Should I take the cooler off before transporting
my system?
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.
Should you encounter any problems with your NH-D15, please
don’t hesitate to contact our support team ([e-mail]).
