4. Instrucțiuni de instalare

Follow these steps carefully to install your Noctua CPU cooler using the NM-AM5/4-MP83 mounting kit. Ensure your system is powered off and disconnected from the mains before proceeding.

Pasul 4.1: Pregătiți placa de bază

Remove any existing CPU cooler mounting hardware. The NM-AM5/4-MP83 kit utilizes the motherboard's stock AMD backplate. Ensure this backplate is securely in place behind the CPU socket area.

Step 4.2: Install Spacers and Mounting Bars

Place the four NM-APS4 spacers over the screw threads of the stock backplate. Then, position the two NM-AMB4 mounting bars on top of the spacers, aligning the holes. Secure the mounting bars using the four NM-ALS4 screws, tightening them evenly until snug.

Pasul 4.3: Aplicați pasta termică

Apply a small amount of thermal paste (not included with this kit) to the center of the CPU's integrated heat spreader (IHS). A pea-sized drop is typically sufficient. Refer to your thermal paste manufacturer's instructions for specific application methods.

Step 4.4: Mount the CPU Cooler

Carefully place your compatible Noctua CPU cooler onto the CPU, aligning its mounting holes with the threaded posts on the newly installed mounting bars. Secure the cooler by tightening the cooler's retention screws evenly, alternating between screws to ensure balanced pressure. Do not overtighten.

5. Întreținere

The NM-AM5/4-MP83 mounting kit itself requires no specific maintenance. Ensure that the CPU cooler is securely mounted and that thermal paste is applied correctly to maintain optimal thermal performance. Periodically check the cooler's mounting screws for tightness, especially after transporting the system.

6. Depanare

• Cooler not fitting: Double-check that your Noctua CPU cooler has an 83mm mounting pitch and is listed as compatible with AM5/AM4 sockets. Ensure the mounting bars are oriented correctly.
• Temperaturi ridicate ale procesorului: Verify that thermal paste was applied correctly and that the CPU cooler is making firm, even contact with the CPU's IHS. Ensure all cooler retention screws are tightened appropriately.
• Montare liberă: Ensure all screws are tightened evenly. Avoid overtightening, which can damage components.
