Noctua NH-L9 65 Series User manual

Required mounting parts:

Dear customer,

Congratulations on choosing the Noctua NH-L9x65. The NH-

L9x65 is a taller, performance-enhanced version of our award-

winning NH-L9 low-profile coolers. It fuses everything users

have come to expect from our larger coolers into a compact

premium package for space restricted systems.

Enjoy your NH-L9x65!

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.

Should you encounter any difficulties, please check the FAQs on

our website (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

2x NM-IMB2 Mounting Bars1x NM-IBP2 Backplate

4x NM-ITS1 Thumbscrews4x NM-IPS1 Spacers

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.

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

Fix the mounting bars using the 4 thumb screws.

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

excessive force.

Caution: Tighten the screws until they stop.

Fastening the heatsink to the CPU

Caution: Please first take off the protection cover at the bottom

side of the heatsink.

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

threads of the mounting bars. Note that you can reach through

the blades of the fan using the supplied screw driver. There is

thus no need to take off the fan for installation.

Step 5

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 Adaptors (L.N.A.)

in order to further reduce the fans’ 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

cooling performance is insufficient, please increase case

ventilation or remove the L.N.A.

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-L9x65, please

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

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.

Step 4

Caution: Applying too much thermal paste will lower heat

conductivity and cooling performance!

Installing the mounting bars

First screw the NM-IBT2 bolts into the screw threads of the

LGA2011 socket frame.

Step 1

Then put the NM-IMB2 mounting-bars onto the bolts.

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

pointing outwards.

Attaching the mounting bars

First put the plastic spacers onto the screw threads, then fix the

mounting bars using the 4 long screws.

Step 2

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 suppor[email protected].

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.

Step 1
