I have installed my CPU cooler, but there is no contact between my CPU cooler and CPU?

Please verify that you have installed the fastening brackets correctly:

Two installations are shown. On the left with a green checkmark, from top to bottom: Fastening bracket, then cooler base, then screw. On the right with a red X: Screw, then cooler base, then fastening bracket.

Please proceed to our installation manuals, if you need more detailed instructions on how to install your Noctua CPU cooler onto your motherboard.
