Review on 🔥 Noctua NT-H2 3.5g: High-Quality Thermal Paste with 3 Cleaning Wipes by Grant Nordstrom

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very high quality in every way

Improved version of NT-H1. Easy to apply, easy to remove, non-conductive and very powerful. In the test it is on par with the Grizzly Kryonaut and the Gelid GC-Extreme. To do anything significantly better, you need to use conductive metal heat transfer fluids like Conductonaut. This is a much higher risk of failure and much more difficult to manage, costing nothing but extreme overclocking applications. I can't give a temperature comparison because I didn't use the material sent to my Contac Silent 12 radiator, I cleaned it right away and coated it with NT-H2. During the 20-minute stress test, temperatures never surpassed 70 degrees Celsius with the default fan curve, which is impressive for a quiet heatsink that's designed more to keep decibels down than it is to keep gaming temperatures down. The packaging is very nice, you have the option of buying a large 10g tube a little cheaper. per gram if you plan on building a few more systems or building a GPU, napkins come in handy (not collectible, use them without guilt), and even the general complaint about the price of Noctua products isn't entirely true. This stuff costs the same as Arctic MX-4 right now, just under $13 for a 3.5g tube, Grizzly Kryonaut under $10 for a 1g tube, and Gelid GC-Extreme for 14, $52 for a 0.5g 3.5g tube According to numerous comparative reviews, all of these products are probably within 1 degree Celsius of others, and this is within the margin of error in both measurement and user application . I summed it all up and the NT-H2 emerged as the winner. choice for me. It's just a good deal without sacrificing the quality of your build. Highly recommended for its combination of high performance, reasonable price, included extras and ease of use. The fact that it's Noctua also adds a bit of that "cool factor" for anyone who tingles when they hear the name of this brand.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Annoying
