INSTALLATION MANUAL

INTELAMD

If you have decided to install the radiator at the front or at

the side of the case with the fans pushing air through the

radiator, you usually have to fix the fans and the radiator at

the same time using the supplied long screws (check your

case manual for details).

First put the radiator in place with the tubes facing the

interior of the case (and, preferably, oriented towards the

bottom of the case). Next, align the fans with anti-vibration

Front or side mount with push fans

b

Then put the radiator into the case with the tubes facing

right and fix it using the supplied short screws.

Place the fans on the radiator in a push setup with the

pre-installed anti-vibration gaskets facing the radiator and

the cables of the fans facing downwards. Carefully screw the

fans to the radiator using the long screws.

Caution: Gently tighten the screws until they stop and stop

applying force once they bottom out. Do not use excessive

force (max. torque 0.3 Nm)!

Picking a radiator position1

A front or side radiator configuration should be combined

with exhaust case fans at the top (if possible) and rear side

of the case to remove warm air. Additional bottom intake

fans (if supported by the case) can also be helpful in this

type of setup. The tube connectors of the radiator should be

oriented towards the bottom of the case if possible, but they

can also be oriented towards the top as long as the highest

point of the radiator is higher than the pump.

Caution: Do not install the radiator at the bottom of the

case as it is crucial that the highest point of the radiator

is above the pump. Otherwise, air might get trapped in

the pump, which can lead to increased noise, lower

performance and shorter lifespan.

radiator positions and fan configurations, please visit

Many modern tower style PC cases allow liquid coolers to

be installed in more than one position (top, front or side of

the case). Please consult the manual of your PC case to find

out in which positions you can install your NL-LC1 cooler.

Installing the radiator at the top of the case has the

advantage that hot air is directly exhausted, so it will not

affect other components such as the GPU. The downside is

that warm air from the GPU will be taken in by the radiator

fans, which can result in slightly higher CPU temperatures.

Conversely, installing the radiator at the front or at the side

of the case has the advantage that the radiator fans can

take in fresh air, which ensures the lowest possible CPU

temperatures, but the warm air will go into the case, which

can cause slightly higher temperatures on the GPU or other

components.

Therefore, choose the front or side mounting position to

prioritise CPU temperature or the top mounting position to

prioritise GPU temperature.

In either case, we recommend installing the fans pushing

air through the radiator rather than pulling air through it for

optimal performance-to-noise efficiency.

A top radiator configuration should always be combined

with front intake and a rear exhaust fan to ensure sufficient

intake of fresh air. We recommend orienting the tube

connectors of the radiator towards the front of the case so

that they stay clear of the rear exhaust fan.

Placement of PPA/PPB fans (speed offset)3

The fans that are included with NL-LC1 liquid coolers

are slightly offset in speed to ensure optimal acoustics.

For 360mm and 420mm models, place the fan labelled

PPB (running slightly faster) in the centre and the two

fans labelled PPA (running slightly slower) on the outer

positions. For the 240mm model, the placement of the PPA

and PPB fan does not matter.

Noctua generally does not recommend using push/pull

setups because the performance-to-noise efficiency tends to

be worse than with single-side push or pull configurations.

If you still want to boost raw cooling performance by adding

more fans, we recommend a PPA/PPB/PPA configuration

on the push side and PPB/PPA/PPB configuration on the

pull side for 360mm and 420mm models and PPA/PPB

push and PPB/PPA pull for 240mm models.

Place the radiator on a table or flat surface so that the tubes

are on your right-hand side. Make sure that the pump block

does not accidentally touch the radiator fins.

Fan and radiator installation2

The following recommendations assume that a typical case

with fixed fan/radiator mounting rails or panels is used.

Some modern cases feature more flexible setups with

removable mounting brackets. Please refer to your chassis’

manual for detailed guidance on how to install the radiator.

Required mounting parts:

NM-SFS7-TX-BK

long screws for

mounting the fans

to the radiator

NM-SD1 Torx

®

T20

screwdriver

NM-SSC8-TX-BK

short screws for

mounting the

radiator to the case

Caution: Gently tighten the screws until they stop and stop

applying force once they bottom out. Do not use excessive

force (max. torque 0.3 Nm)!

If your case does not provide enough space to install the

fans in front of the panel, you can install the fans behind

the front panel instead. In this setup, screw the fans directly

onto the radiator by inserting the screws from the outside

of the front panel.

If you have decided to install the radiator in the front or

at the side of the case with the fans pulling through the

radiator, please switch the anti-vibration gaskets to the

inlet side of the fans first.

Then place the radiator on a table or a flat surface so that

the tubes are on your right-hand side. Make sure that the

pump block does not accidentally touch the radiator fins.

Carefully screw the fans to the radiator with the anti-

vibration gaskets facing the radiator and the cable exits

facing downwards.

Caution: Gently tighten the screws until they stop and stop

applying force once they bottom out. Do not use excessive

force (max. torque 0.3 Nm)!

Then put the radiator into the case with the tubes on the

bottom side (if possible) using the supplied short screws.

gaskets facing the front case panel from the outside,

with the cables towards the right-hand side case panel.

Then, secure the fans by screwing them through the front

panel into the radiator, starting with the top fan to hold

the radiator in place and then proceed to the middle and

bottom fans.

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.

Note that warranty becomes void if the product is installed

or used improperly, e.g. without fans or with the fans shut

off at elevated temperatures, with the pump installed at

a higher position than the radiator, etc. We also cannot

accept warranty claims for units that have been opened by

the user.

Should you encounter any problems with your NL-LC1,

please don’t hesitate to contact our support team
