One of the best features of the cooler Noctua's mounting system - SecuFirm2™. Out of all of the air and water-based coolers I've tested, Noctua's SecureFirm2™ is one of the easiest to use. The mounting system is easy to install to the board with its bottom up-driven design and the mount points for the cooler itself are solidly anchors once the mounting cage is in place. Noctua even provide a Phillips head screwdriver that is long enough to get to the hold down screws without the need to cram your fingers (or entire hand) in between the radiators to fix them in place. Noctua also should be commended on their fan to radiator mounting system. It holds the fan securely in place while engaged and is easy to disengage and adjust as needed.

"Noctua did an excellent job with the design and construction of the cooler, producing a visually appealing product that performs well without blowing out your ear drums." (Morry Teitelman, PC Perspective)
