Mounting
Noctua ships
their NH-U14S with mounting kits that are compatible to most of the common Intel
and AMD sockets. Installing the cooler is very easy and it's done quickly. In
our case we didn't have to check the manual. The installation process is really
that simple. Unfortunately we had to find out that this cooler is not compatible
to Intels Socket LGA1366. Although this socket is quite old meanwhile there are
still lots of users out there using it, which would be a good reason to have a
mounting kit ready for them.
On these pictures you can clearly see that the
NH-U14S is quite a slim cooler. Therefore there should be no copmatibility
issues if you should want to install memory with big heatspreaders.
