FAQ: Can I use the NF-P14 on my NH-U12 series cooler?
Yes, the NF-P14 can be used to further enhance the cooling performance of Noctua NH-U12 series heatsinks. Please consider the following points when using the NF-P14 on your Noctua heatsink though:
- The NF-P14 will sit on the spring-loaded mounting screw and thereby increase the overall height of the cooler (measured from the base) to 168mm (NH-U12, NH-U12F, NH-U12P, NH-U12P SE1366) or 163mm (NH-U12P SE2 or other models with NM-I3 kit). Please make sure that your case offers sufficient space!
- Please also note that the NF-P14 will sit on the small projections on the sides of the fins. You can prevent this by using spacers (e.g. rubber, silicone or felt pads).
- Due to the fan sitting on the projections or spacers, the fan clips will be very tight to put on. You can bend the clips in advance in order to make it easier to install them.
