On motherboards witheast-to-west socket orientation, this can be used to offsetthe compatible NH-U14S, NH-U12S and NH-U9 seriescoolers towards the right, increasing clearance towards theI/O panel. On boards that use a north-to-south orientationof the CPU socket(s), this allows offsetting the coolertowards the upper edge of the motherboard in order toincrease PCIe clearance.Required mounting parts:NM-AFB11 fastening brackets NM-SMT4 mounting toolCaution: Gently tighten the screws until they stop, but donot use excessive force (max. torque 0.6 Nm).3In order to offset the cooler, please unscrew the NM-AFB11fastening brackets and reinstall them in the +3 (3mmoffset) or +6 (6mm offset) position.Caution: Gently tighten the screws until they stop, but don’tuse excessive force (max. torque 0.6 Nm).+ 0mm offset+ 3mm offset+ 6mm offsetInstalling/replacing the mounting brackets1Take the fan(s) off the cooler.
