Although the NH-C12P can be installed in any orientation, Noctua actually has recommended installing the heatsink with the bulging of the heat pipes pointing downwards, toward left, or toward right if it is installed in a tower-style case. The reason for such recommendation is due to the previously described C-style cooling whi**aving the bulging of the heat pipes pointing down will facilitate removal of hot air away from CPU area. In desktop case, the heatsink can be installed in any orientation.
虽然 NH-C12 能在任何的方位被安装,但是如果使用的是塔式机箱, Noctua建议如上图C型开口不要朝下,主要是考量热管导流方式,至于卧式机箱,就无需考量此点,安装任何方向皆可。
During installation, I did encounter clearance problem with my EVGA 680i board. If I place the mounting bars in vertical orientation, they will be touching heatsink on the CPU voltage regulator. The mounting bar can pose some problem if there are components around the CPU mounting area that is a tad taller. Those half height capacitors usually are not going to be any issue but the older larger capacitors may pose some problem. Luckily many of today’s motherboards are using solid capacitors so they won’t be a major issue. But do make sure that there is no components around the CPU mounting hole area that can prevent the mounting bars to be installed.
在安装期间,我遇到与我EVGA 680i 主板《净空区》的问题。
如果我安装的是垂直的定向上位置,他们将碰触CPU 稳压器上的散热器。
如果有一些CPU 周围零部件较高的话,就会造成一些问题。
旧式更大的电容器可能会造成一些问题。
幸运的是现在市售的主板正使用固态的电容器,因此他们将不是一个主要的问题。
(附注:净空区是Intel公司,对其配合生产厂商要求,再CPU周围区域保留空间的区域)
Also, if your motherboard comes with a big heatsink underneath the board (as many of high-end board do), you would have to remove it first or else you won't be able to use the heatsink. The Gigabyte P35-DS4 motherboard has such issue as its metal plate is not removable. This is really not entirely Noctua's fault but nonetheless it would be nice to have an alternative way to install the heatsink for these type of motherboards.
此外,如果你的主板背部有安装散热器,那么你要先将其移除,不然你将无法安装NH-C12P。技嘉的P35-DS4主板,就有金属板不可移动这样的问题,这真的不完全是Noctua的错误,但是假如能为这类主板安装不同的散热器将会是令人高兴的。
Luckily, the heatsink does not have a clearance issue around the motherboard. We can see Noctua bends the heat pipes so it will not gets in the way with the northbridge. Unless the Northbridge of your motherboard is extremely large or very tall, I do not forsee any issue. I tested the heatsink with the EVGA 680i and Gigabyte EX38-DS4 and also did not encounter any issue with that particular motherboard.
幸运的是,散热器没在主板周围有净空区问题。
我们能看见Noctua弯曲热管,因此它将不会对北桥阻碍。
除非你主板的北桥极其大或者高,我不认为会有任何问题。
我所测试的 EVGA 680i 和
技嘉EX38 DS4都没有遇到任何问题。
