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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Noctua quality but probably better with the cheaper NT-H1

NT-H1 was my pick for the last dozen PC builds so naturally I believed NT-H2 would take the throne, this is 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
  • A dream come true
Cons
  • Some flaws
