Removing the mainboard

In case you want to use the cooler on an assembled system,
you first have to remove the mainboard from the case in order
to be able to install the supplied backplate.
Caution: On LGA1366 and LGA1156/1155, the supplied back-
plate will install over the mainboard's stock backplate, so the
mainboard's stock backplate must not be taken off.

mainboard's CPU socket.

Step 3:

Attaching the backplate

Place the backplate on the rear side of the mainboard so that
the bolts stick through the mounting holes.
Caution: On LGA1156/1155, please make sure that the two
cuts in the supplied backplate align with the screws of the
mainboard's stock backplate.
Step 4:

Installing the mounting bars

First put the plastic spacers onto the bolts, then add the mount-
ing bars.
Caution: Choose the alignment of the mounting bars according
to the desired final orientation of the cooler:
Caution: In tower style cases, please avoid installing the
NH-C12P SE14 with the bends of the heatpipes pointing
upwards as this may result in reduced cooling perform-
ance.
