Heatsink installation went incredibly smooth and was actually quite simple, despite having 3 basic levels. Having only a single set of screws holding the main retention clips in place was a real time saver and made the process very easy. To complete the installation we did have to remove the center fan to attach the main mounting screws. This was a little strange, but all things considered it was a small price to pay. The heatsink was held down with 2 spring loaded screws which was actually very sturdy. This is likely due to the mounts actually being attached to the heatsink instead of just floating on top.

"Overall performance was excellent and our heat tests showed that the Noctua NH-D14 had plenty of heat capacity to spare given that the C/W numbers were almost identical between the tests." (Dennis Garcia, Ninjalane.com)
