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.
Installing the direct die spacers
First, unscrew the fastening bracket(s) from the cooler.
Use the supplied longer screws to reinstall the fastening bracket(s) with the
supplied spacer(s) underneath, as shown below.
Caution: Make sure that the side marked “this side up” is facing away
from the cooler’s contact surface.
