Required mounting parts:
Dear customer,
Congratulations on choosing the Noctua NH-D15S. Tailored to
provide superior RAM and PCIe compatibility, the NH-D15S is
an asymmetrical single fan version of Noctua’s award-winning
flagship model NH-D15. I’m confident that you will be able to
sense some of the research, attention and care we’ve put into
making this cooler.
Enjoy your NH-D15S!
Yours sincerely,
Roland Mossig, Noctua CEO
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 list
on our website (www.noctua.at/compatibility) and verify that
the cooler is fully compatible with your motherboard.
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.
Noctua cannot be held responsible for any damage or losses
caused by compatibility issues.

Removing the mainboard
In case you want to use the cooler on an assembled system and
your case doesn’t have a cut-out at the rear side of the mainboard
tray, you first have to remove the mainboard from the case in
order to be able to install the supplied backplate.
Step 1
2x NM-IMB2 Mounting Bars1x NM-IBP2 Backplate
4x NM-ITS1 Thumbscrews4x NM-IPS1 Spacers
Place the backplate on the rear side of the mainboard so that the
bolts stick through the mounting holes.
Caution: Please make sure that the three cut-outs in the
supplied backplate align with the screws of the mainboard’s stock
backplate.
Installing the mounting bars
Caution: Choose the alignment of the mounting bars according to
the desired final orientation of the cooler:
Step 3
First put the plastic spacers onto the bolts of the backplate, then
add the mounting bars.
Attaching the backplate
Caution: The supplied backplate will install over the mainboard’s
stock backplate, so the mainboard’s stock backplate must not be
taken off.
Step 2

Caution: Make sure that the curved sides of the mounting bars are
pointing outwards.
Fix the mounting bars using the 4 thumb screws.
Caution: Gently tighten the screws until they stop, but don’t use
excessive force.
Applying thermal paste
If there are residual traces of thermal paste or thermal pads on
your CPU, please clean them off first. Then press a small drop
(4-5mm diameter) of NT-H1 onto the centre of the heatspreader.
Step 4
Caution: Applying too much thermal paste will lower heat
conductivity and cooling performance!
Then put the heatsink onto the CPU and screw it to the screw
threads of the mounting bars.
Caution: Tighten the screws until they stop.

Fastening the heatsink to the CPU
Caution: Please first take off the fan as well as the protection
cover at the bottom side of the heatsink.

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.

Adding a second fan
The NH-D15S includes an extra set of fan clips for installing a
second fan to the front fin stack in push/pull mode in order to
further improve cooling performance. The fan clips support:
• Round frame 140mm fans with 120mm mounting (105mm
hole spacing) such as the NF-A15 PWM or the NF-P14r redux
models
• Standard 120mm fans (105mm hole spacing) such as the
NF-A12, NF-F12 or NF-P12 redux models
Caution:
• It is not possible to install 140mm fans with square frames
(124.5mm hole spacing) such as the NF-A14 or NF-P14s redux.
• If you add a second fan to the front fin stack, it will sit above
the RAM modules. Please verify that you have sufficient room
inside your case before adding a second fan. For example, if you
add a 140mm fan and use RAM modules that are 50mm high,
you will need 190mm of clearance, adding a 120mm fan while
using 50mm RAM requires 170mm, etc.
Connect the fan to the mainboard’s CPU fan header. Depending
on your CPU and the temperature inside the case, you may
interconnect the supplied NA-RC7 Low-Noise Adapter (L.N.A.)
in order to further reduce the fan’s operating noise.
Caution: Never use one adaptor for both fans by putting it before
the y-split cable.
Caution: When using the L.N.A.s, check the temperature of your
CPU using appropriate software (e.g. the respective applications
of your mainboard manufacturer), in order to evade automatic
throttling of the CPU due to the increased temperature. If the
cooling performance is insufficient, please increase case ventila-
tion or remove the L.N.A.s.

Caution: Make sure that the curved sides of the mounting bars are
pointing outwards.

Attaching the mounting bars
First put the plastic spacers onto the screw threads, then fix the
mounting bars using the 4 long screws.
Step 2
Caution: The SecuFirm2™ mounting system requires a back-
plate, which is preinstalled on most AMD mainboards. If your
mainboard doesn’t have a backplate, please contact our support
Removing the retention module
If your mainboard uses a retention module for CPU cooler instal-
lation, please remove it first. The SecuFirm2™ mounting system
will install directly to your mainboard’s stock backplate on the rear
side of the socket.
