Noctua NT-H2 10g, Thermal Computer Paste incl. 10 Cleaning Wipes (10g)

TL/DR - Spreads great. Excellent temps. Non-conductive. Trusted Noctua brand. Excellent value in 10g tube. It’s thermal paste… Buy it!——————FULL REVIEW…Ahh thermal paste… arguably the most overthought & debated aspect of PC building, yet probably the least important thing to worry about. “How much do I use??? Should i use a pea-dot? X pattern? Spread it with a credit card???” Answer to all of these = Yes. Seriously - if nothing else, just put some paste on the processor and drop the heat sink… it’ll work fine. Noctua does however include a manual with this paste that will provide recommended application techniques for each processor type (various intel sockets, Ryzen, Xeon, threadripper). Plenty of quality tests show the difference between the “best and worst” pastes and application techniques is at most 5*C. That being said… I really do like this paste. It appears to be a nice upgrade from the very reliable NT-H1 that I’ve used for years. It’s non-conductive, so no worries about frying something. I used the AMD & Noctua recommended “five dot method” (Pea-Dot in the middle, plus four smaller dots more near the corners) for my new Ryzen 5900x under a Noctua NH-D15. These Ryzen 5000 processors can run pretty warm, but I’m extremely pleased with the temps… 63*c max for cinebench r23 & never over 70*c while gaming (all of this on warmer days mind you). I love the fact it comes in a 10g tube - it’s a wonderful value for the amount included. The included cleaning wipes are a nice touch and will probably be appreciated by some.This is definitely my new go-to paste and I’ll be recommending this 10g tube to anyone who needs a good amount for future uses as well! Thank you Noctua for continuing to be my most trusted brand for most things cooling!

This is an amazing thermal paste, easy to apply, great heat transfer, awesome price and a lot of material for multiple applications. The results are the best ones I ever gotten, it's better than Arctic MX-6 and Kryonaut

This has helped manage my cpu and gpu hotspot temps. As long as you put in the right amount of it, you’ll be fine. Applicability of this paste is also easy.

The thermal paste worked like a gem. I did a ton of research before purchasing to make sure it was the best. I applied it about two years ago to my custom PC and only recently started having overheating issues which may or may not be due to the thermal paste needing replaced. If it is it's possible that I just left the CPU cooler out just a little too long before applying then attaching the CPU cooler to the CPU.Normally it should last a lot longer if applied properly.It runs my system extremely fast though. I have a very high end system that demands a lot so it does the job well in that respect. It doesn't come out too much at once if you know what your doing and have experience or have read up properly on how to apply thermal paste to your CPU.Noctua is a fantastic brand that I couldn't recommend enough. Again it might have been my error that I'm having the heat issues I'm having where the thermal paste may have dried up over time, but I'm not sure.

The price for this thermal compound is arguably high. But, Noctua never tries to have the cheapest product and Noctua is famous for including extras. In the box, you get a giant tube of thermal compound, several cleaning wipes, and a very handy diagram. Noctua claims there is no need to spread their compound, but they do recommend a variety of patterns to get the best coverage depending on the size of the heat spreader.I have used so many thermal compounds in the past ranging from those included with cooling products up to expensive compounds. They all perform close enough together that you’d barely notice the difference. Ease of application and longevity should be what you look for in a compound. Noctua is easy to apply as it doesn’t require spreading and will last 5 years before it dries out and you see any performance loss. If that 1 or 2 degrees does matter to you, the Noctua compound usually lands near the top of professional reviews.If you found my review helpful, please press that button.

For the money it’s really good. Temperature control is better than other brands 1 to 2 degrees cooler than competition. 10g is a lot for the money you pay. For the size of the tube you get and only using a pea sized portion it will last you awhile as long as you keep it properly stored.

My go-to thermal compound. While it may not be the absolute best where temps are concerned, it's still good and spreads easily.

It's Noctua thermal paste. You are getting exactly what you expect. Great quality from a long standing Leader in the game. Wipes are nice for getting the old crusty paste off. Good size tube should last a while. Versatile for use on graphics cards as well. Gives temperatures you expect when applied correctly.
