Review on πŸ”₯ Noctua NT-H2 10g, High-Performance Thermal Compound Paste with 10 Cleaning Wipes (10g) by Quinton King

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Noctua quality but probably better with the cheaper NT-H1

The NT-H1 has been my pick for the last dozen PC builds, so naturally I figured the NT-H2 would dethrone it as my new favorite. Can't say I'm not disappointed to pay the premium price for the NT-H2 as I feel the price hike wasn't worth it. Using it over NT-H1 with my NH-D15 resulted in no noticeable thermal improvement. I tried many different application methods (centre, line, double line, cross) and my peak temperatures during the Prime95 stress test were still the highest at the same temperature as the NT-H1. So stick with the tried and tested NT-H1, in my opinion, as the difference in performance (or lack thereof) didn't justify the higher price.

Pros
  • premium thermal compound for optimal heat transfer from the CPU or GPU to the heatsink; Second generation of the award-winning Noctua NT-H1 processor
Cons
  • Roughly
