INSTALLATION
Typically to install the cooler you should first mount the backplate, spacers and then the brackets and well in my case I also wanted to check and see if the NH-D15 G2 could be installed facing upwards/downwards (was a no go so the brackets need to be installed above and beneath the CPU socket and not left and right as seen here).
The NH-D15 G2 is a massive cooler so be sure to check whether or not it even fits in your case (height issues mostly).
Since I enjoy using the WireView models by Thermal Grizzly I was at least glad to see that the NH-D15 G2 sits less than 1cm away.
