NOCTUA NH-U14S TR5-SP6
INSTALLATION MANUAL
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 [e-mail].
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!
Yours sincerely,
Roland Mossig, Noctua CEO
Take the fans off the cooler.
Removing the fans
1
Offsetting the cooler
2
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.
Required mounting parts:
NM-AFB11 fastening brackets
(pre-installed on the cooler)
NM-SMT4 mounting tool
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.
Caution: Gently tighten the screws until they stop, but don’t
use excessive force (max. torque 0.6 Nm).

Fastening the heatsink to the CPU
3
Remove the plastic protection cover from the base of
the heatsink and be careful not to damage the layer of
pre-applied thermal compound.
Caution: If you are not using the heatsink for the first time
and it therefore doesn’t have a fresh layer of pre-applied
thermal compound anymore, you need to apply a thin layer
of thermal compound to the CPU yourself before clipping
it to the heatsink. If there are residual traces of previous
thermal paste or thermal pads on your CPU or on the
heatsink, please clean them off first.
Then put the heatsink onto the CPU so that the four
spring-loaded screws align with the threads of the CPU
socket. Use the supplied mounting tool to tighten the
screws. Perform 3 turns on each screw, then repeat until all
are fully tightened.
Caution: Gently tighten the screws until they stop, but don’t
use excessive force (max. torque 0.6 Nm).
Note that you can tilt the mounting tool for reaching the
screws in case they are blocked by the heatsink fins.
Installing the fans
4
Connect the fans to the motherboard’s CPU fan header(s).
If necessary, use the supplied NA-YC1 splitter cable to
connect both fans to one fan header.
Reattach the fans to the heatsink using the supplied fan
clips:
Transporting your system
!
As it is not possible to reliably calculate or control the forces
that act upon a system during transport (e.g. in shipping),
we generally recommend, for safety reasons, taking the
cooler off.
Noctua cannot be held responsible for any damage that
may arise due to excessive stress during transport if you
keep the heatsink installed.
Warranty, support and FAQs!
Even with high-grade products and strict quality control,
the possibility of defects cannot be eliminated entirely.
Therefore, we aim at providing the highest possible level
of reliability and convenience by offering a warranty period
of 6 years and direct, fast and straightforward RMA service.
