Dear customer,
Thank you very much for choosing the Noctua NH-U14S
TR5-SP6. Our Threadripper and Epyc coolers have become
a standard choice when it comes to quiet, premium grade
air cooling solutions for AMD-based workstations and
servers, and we're excited to continue this legacy with the
new TR5-SP6 models. I'm confident that you will be able
to sense some of the research, attention and care we've put
into making this product.
Enjoy your Noctua NH-U14S TR5-SP6!

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
centre on our website (ncc.noctua.at) and verify that the
cooler is fully compatible with your motherboard.
Please also make sure that your PC case offers sufficient
clearance 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, other PCIe cards, motherboard
heatsinks or any other components.
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.

Removing the fans

Take the fans off the cooler.
Offsetting the cooler

The SecuFirm2™ mounting for TR5/SP6 makes it possible to
offset the cooler by 3 or 6mm. On motherboards with east-to-
west socket orientation, this can be used to offset the cooler(s)
towards the right, increasing clearance towards the I/O panel.
On boards that use a north-to-south orientation of the CPU
socket(s), this allows offsetting the cooler towards the upper
edge of the motherboard in order to increase PCIe clearance.
In order to offset the cooler, please unscrew the NM-AFB11
fastening brackets and reinstall them in the +3 (3mm
offset) or +6 (6mm offset) position.
+ 0mm offset
+ 3mm offset
+ 6mm offset
Caution: Gently tighten the screws until they stop, but don't
use excessive force (max. torque 0.6 Nm).
