The NT06-PRO (Cont’d)

Figure 8 shows the base of the cooler. It is a nickel-plated copper plaque, not polished enough for a mirror-like aspect.

In Figure 9, you can see the 120 mm PWM fan that comes with the NT06-PRO. Its model is HA1220H12SA-Z, its nominal speed is 2,200 rpm, and airflow of 74 cfm. This fan is slim (20 mm height).

Figure 10 presents the NT06-PRO with the fan installed. There are four rubber pads to be glued to the corners of the fan in order to absorb vibration.
The manufacturer suggests installing the fan below the heatsinks, blowing air upwards, directly into the heatsink. In this position, there is a clearance of only 1.26” (32 mm) under the fan, so you can only install it over the memory modules if you have no modules taller than that under the fan. If the fan interferes with the memory modules, you can choose to install the fan over the heatsink (it will not be a problem if you are using a regular case, but may not be feasible if you are using a small form factor case) or to rotate the cooler in 180 degrees, letting the fan run over the motherboard voltage regulator area.
