Noctua NM-DD1 Installation guide

  • Hello! I've reviewed the Noctua NM-DD1 Installation Manual, which details the installation process for NM-DDS1 and NM-DDS2 cooler spacers along with NM-SSC6 and NM-SSC7 screws. This manual provides essential steps and cautions for using direct die cooling. I'm here to help answer your questions about the installation or other aspects of the device.
  • What are the risks associated with direct die cooling?
    What should I be careful about when installing direct die spacers?
    What mounting parts included in the package?

Caution
!
Caution: Direct die cooling is done at your own risk! While
high-quality delidding tools and direct die frames like
those from der8auer have been thoughtfully engineered
to minimise the risk of damaging the CPU or other
hardware components, direct die cooling will always
bear a certain risk of damaging components e.g. due
to cracked edges on the bare CPU dies or short circuits
from liquid metal compound. Delidding will also void the
processors’ warranty. Therefore, using the NM-DD1 is
strictly at the customer’s own risk and Noctua cannot be
held responsible for any damage that may occur to CPUs
or other hardware components when removing the heat
spreader and using direct die cooling.
