Review on ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Noctua NT-H1 3.5g: Pro-Grade Thermal Compound Paste for Optimal Cooling Performance by Will Carey

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent pasta. This is my new way.

I am og . I've always used arctic silver 5, even though I knew there were much better pastes out there. If you're building a lot of systems, just grab this stuff. Best-in-class consistency is probably the best return. I think there's a reason Linus always has it. I particularly like the type of sealing. I am confident in holding this item and being able to use it long into the future even after opening. My other favorite feature is the very easy to follow directions which I honestly just followed for fun and it made a difference that I got the exact size they recommended for my outlet. Vernier calipers are used to ensure this is exactly the amount recommended in the instructions. Guess what is literally the most perfect tempo app I've ever had, which is crazy considering how many times I've used it and the fact that it's brand new pasta. I have never used before. I think people overlook the instructions, but to be honest they can come in handy, especially when there are now much bigger processors like Ryzen and Epic. It is clear that the Germans probably redesigned the directions. If you follow them to T you will get a great app. Just have an expensive caliper handy lol. Now moving on to thermal paste, you don't get that much for the price, performance is probably the same as Arctic Silver Five if not better, definitely better than colder master gel. Thermal paste performance charts with a grain of salt because I bought the new Hyper for the Saul Evo and it came with a cooler base gel paste. It has absolutely terrible properties. Arctic Pottery Two is better than stuff like that. I can't believe how bad this cool master paste really is. It's hard to use and works horribly. I don't understand who rates this in Tom's thermal case chart. I can say from personal experience that Cooler Master Pro Jell is the worst I have ever used. There is one caveat, the cooler master is completely non-conductive, which works great if you don't have nail polish to protect the SMD. So yeah, that's all it takes for the cooler artisans. Good job Noctua. Please help the cooler master with his paste and assembly system. please. The Hyper to 12 Evo is truly a legend, it outperforms many Aios and there's a reason many vintage bikes swear by this cooler.

Pros
  • I hold my fists
Cons
  • Long wait
