Questions & Answers

What does W/m stand for? k rating?

While NT- The thermal conductivity of H1 was 8. 9 W/m. With a density of 2, and a temperature of K, NT- NT- NT- NT- NT- NT- NT- NT- NT- With a density of 2, H2 is the most dense of all the gases. Although the thermal conductivity (which should be around 9 W/m) is not specified, it is 81g/cm3. It's worth noting that Noctua continues to send NT- H1 is known for their coolers, which is why the NT-X is available. Only in stores will you find H2. Originally posted from the first page of a Google search. (raises his hand in the air) The W/m is not listed by Noctua. K is the letter of the alphabet. I concur with this information based on my own experiences.

Hello, how good is this pasta's thermal conductivity?

I'm not sure what I was thinking at the time. I tested a few with a 5960X that was overclocked to the max and producing around 260 Watt when running Prime 95 about three years ago. The NT- H2, Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut, Thermalright TF8, and Arctic MX-Arctic MX-Arctic MX- Arctic MX-Arctic MX-Arctic The same was done by 4 people - The margin of error is between 1 and 2 degrees. I didn't care for the Kryonaut because it was messy to dismount the cooler. You have to lift it straight up and hold it for a few seconds or it will pull strings of it all over the MB. Any of the standard white compounds, including Arctic Silver 5, did not perform as well.

Is it necessary to unplug everything in my computer before removing and applying thermal paste?

Remove the CPU cooler and clean the old compound from the contacts between the CPU and the cooler. Depending on your board layout, it may be easier to get your gpu and ram out of the way first. I would definitely recommend unplugging your power supply from wall power so you do not accidentally power on while doing things. Make sure you're not static-charged while you're working. If you're not sure what I'm talking about, you should do some more research before trying to relive your thermal past.

Is it necessary to disconnect everything from your motherboard in order to apply thermal paste?

Not really, but just to be safe, I'd unplug the ATX power connector and do the usual things like grounding yourself before touching the motherboard to avoid any accidental static discharge.

Selected User Reviews For Noctua NT-H2 10g, Pro-Grade Thermal Compound Paste incl. 10 Cleaning Wipes (10g)

Excellent value for money
5/5

This thermal compound has an astronomically high price tag. However, Noctua is known for including extras and never attempts to have the cheapest product. A large tube of thermal compound, several cleaning wipes, and an extremely useful diagram are all included in the box. Noctua claims that spreading their compound is unnecessary, but depending on the size of the heat spreader, they recommend a variety of patterns to achieve the best coverage. br>br>In the past, I've used a wide range of thermal compounds, from those included with cooling products to more expensive compounds. They're all so close in performance that you'd hardly notice the differences. You should look for a compound that is easy to apply and has a long shelf life. Noctua is simple to apply because it doesn't need to be spread, and it will last for 5 years before drying out and losing its effectiveness. If those extra 1 or 2 degrees are important to you, the Noctua compound is frequently recommended by professionals. br>br>Please press that button if you found my review helpful.

Buy mx4 to save money
3/5

This is a complete waste of time. I was using mx4 for my 9900k at the time, but I wanted to see if there was a better paste out there. All cores are overclocked to 5 MHz on mine. On cinebench r20 (4 tests in a roll) with kryonaut, I hit 82c maximum with a 360 aio. In my first h2 test, I reached 86 degrees. The second test resulted in a temperature of 92 degrees Fahrenheit. After that, I'll come to a halt. Nt- was the product I purchased. h2, IC- Kryonaut and a graphite pad This is where the MX4 excels. The same thing can be done with an IC graphite pad. So, if you want the best, get Kryonaut. If not, purchase a low-cost, high-quality MX4.

Excellent value for money - wonderful outcomes! TL/DR - It has a great spread
5/5

The weather is perfect. Non- The Noctua brand is known for its conductive products, and the 10g tube is a great value. It's thermal paste. . . go ahead and get some! br>br>—————br>br>br>FULL REVIEW. . . br>br>Ahh thermal paste. . . arguably the most overthought product on the market. Although it is a contentious aspect of PC construction, it is probably the least important factor to consider. "Can you tell me how much I use?" Is it necessary for me to use a pea-sized pea-sized pea-sized pea- dot? Are you looking for an X pattern? Is it possible to spread it out using a credit card? " The answer to all of these questions is yes. In all seriousness - If all else fails, simply apply paste to the processor and remove the heat sink. . . it'll work fine. Noctua does, however, include a manual with this paste that details recommended application techniques for each processor type (intel sockets, Ryzen, Xeon, Threadripper). Several quality tests have revealed that the difference in temperature between the "best and worst" pastes and application techniques is no more than 5 degrees Celsius. That said, I really like this paste, and it appears to be a nice step up from the very reliable NT-X paste. I've been using H1 for a long time. It's a non-profit organization. There's no risk of burning something because it's conductive. I made use of AMD. The "five dot method" (Pea-) was suggested by Noctua. For my new Ryzen 5900x under a Noctua NH-II, I used a dot in the middle, plus four smaller dots near the corners. D15. These Ryzen 5000 processors can get quite hot, but I'm very happy with the temperatures. . . cinebench r23 at 63°C. While gaming, keep the temperature below 70°C (this is on hotter days, mind you). I like that it comes in a 10g tube - it's perfect for traveling. For the amount included, it's an excellent deal. The cleaning wipes that come with the package are a nice touch that will likely be appreciated by some. br>br>This will undoubtedly become my new go-to recipe. I'll be recommending this 10g tube to anyone who needs a large amount of paste for future uses! Thank you, Noctua, for being my go-to brand for almost everything cooling!.

One of the best, if not the best
5/5

To begin with, what is Amazon? Warmth? Is there any such thing as utterance? How thick should it be? Are these characteristics? Okay, I'm going to give it a 5 for warmth. Seriously, it does an excellent job of absorbing that information. Sheerness receives a zero because it is nearly the polar opposite of sheerness. Thickness gets a 5 out of 10. It's well-designed, and if you're not blind, it's simple to use. br>br>However, I did quite a bit of research. Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Bla It's quite satisfactory. I don't mind waiting three years between applications because it lasts long enough. I'm currently running an 8700k delid at 5. 1 at 1. With the addition of a Noctua cooler, the voltage is increased to 39 volts. It is currently ranked at number five in terms of transcoding. For hours on end, 1 GHz and under 76 degrees Fahrenheit (during the summer, it can reach the lower 80s).

Quality from Noctua, but you're probably better off with the less expensive NT- NT- H1 has been my go-to for a long time
4/5

to for my previous dozen PC builds, so it's no surprise that I trusted the NT-based operating system.

The good stuff lowered temperatures in comparison to the NT-X
5/5

The NT-series is one of my favorite series. The H series of thermal paste was excellent, and the NH-series was even better. Also excellent are the wipes. During testing, my CPU's temperature dropped by about 5°C due to the two of them.

Thermal Grizzly is a better option
5/5

This, in my opinion, is more user-friendly and effective than any other high-tech product. I've used pretty much every type of thermal paste out there. The CPU I'm using is an I7 5960X that has been overclocked to 4. When hammering it with Prim95, it runs at 6GHz and produces 227 Watts. Kryonautt is the next best paste I've tried, and this new NT–H2 beats it by about 3°. Of course, if you're not putting out a lot of heat, the difference will be less noticeable.

Noctua! I used to use themal grizzly kryonaut, and it's still one of my favorites
5/5

Recently, I've begun to use the nt- h2 and I must say, this stuff is fantastic. It's a lot easier to use than thermal grizzly, and the results are much more consistent, at least in my experience. When compared to thermal grizzly, it performs within 1 to 2 degrees Celsius. I've tested it on gpus, cpus, and gaming consoles, and it works flawlessly on all of them.
