Manual

Required mounting parts:

Dear customer,

Congratulations on choosing the Noctua NH-U9 TR4-SP3.

Having received more than 300 awards and recommendations

from international hardware websites and magazines, the NH-U9

line has become a benchmark for compact 92mm single tower

coolers. The TR4-SP3 version is a tailored custom model for AMD’s

TR4/SP3 platform and features a larger contact surface as well

as the latest SecuFirm2™ mounting system for socket TR4/SP3.

Enjoy your NH-U9 TR4-SP3!

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 sufficient clear-

ance 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 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.

Applying thermal paste

Caution: Applying too much thermal paste will lower heat

conductivity and cooling performance!

Continue by adding 4 larger drops (5-6mm diameter) of NT-H1 in

a square pattern at the center as shown below:

Then put the heatsink onto the CPU so that the four spring-loaded

screws align with the threads of the CPU socket. Use the sup-

plied mounting tool to tighten the screws. Perform 3 turns on each

screw, then repeat until all are fully tightened.

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

excessive force (max. torque 0.6 Nm).

Fastening the heatsink to the CPU

Please first take off the fans as well as the protection cover at the

bottom side of the heatsink.

Step 2

Note that you can tilt the mounting tool for reaching the screws in

case they are blocked by the heatsink fins.
