Noctua NT-H2 3.5g, High-Performance Thermal Paste and 3 Cleaning Wipes | Top-Tier Performance, Easy to Apply and Clean, Excellent Long-Term Stability, 3-20 Applications

This is the only thermal paste I purchase. Every 3 years or so I clean out my systems and at the same time, replace the thermal paste. The included cleaning pad helps getting your CPU and heat-sink clean very quickly. There is enough thermal paste for about 2-3 cpu's if you use the correct amount. I applied it to one system with a Threadripper, and another with a ryzen 7 series CPU. The paste works really well and helps the CPU transfer the heat to the heatsink very well. Very easy to use. Fire and forget installation - no need to worry for another 3-5 years! Well with the money, as you know what you are getting!

I've used plenty of Noctua products over the years and this was exactly what I expected from them. Easy to apply, easy to clean up afterwards thanks to the included wipes, and it did its job without any fuss. Thermal paste isn't the most exciting thing to buy, but when you're building or upgrading a PC you want something reliable that you can apply and forget about for years, and that's exactly what this is. Temperatures were good and I never had any concerns about performance or longevity. There are plenty of cheaper options out there, but when you're protecting expensive CPUs and GPUs it's hard to go wrong with Noctua.

As with everything on my PC I buy, I check many reviews and tests for it before purchasing. I had my heart set on liquid metal TIM (thermal interface material) but after reading about the etching, staining and worry about long term impact on the CPU heatspreader and or heatsink I was not interested any longer. I wanted a thermal compound that lasted a long time without having the hassle and risk involved with taking your PC apart to reapply compound. I had run Noctua NT-H1 thermal compound for 10 years with my I5 2500K CPU which was overclocked quite high to 4.8GHz. Temperatures were always very low and I never once had to reapply the paste, this lasted longer than even specified by Noctua, but they do not lie or fudge numbers like some companies do. Noctua are brutally honest and that I love. Their customer service is also very good. With the modern CPUs of today with their tightly packed, high core counts, it's vital to remove that heat as quickly as possible. With a poor performing compound your CPU isn't going to be boosting as well and it's going to be running warmer, making for a shorter lifespan. Noctua NT-H2 appeared to offer the best performance whilst being safe for all components and having a long lifespan. I've read too many reports of the MX compounds having high peak temperatures even after trying many different application methods and that put me off it, even though it was very cheap. Talking about pricing, I do feel this is quite high price but you do get the wipes included too - although I'd rather they offered a version without the pads too... Perhaps a smaller pack would be good as well as the amount of compound in this would last many applications. The included wipes are very large and come with tons of alcohol soaked in them, plan to clean a lot at the same time as it's very overkill for one CPU and cooler! They are very good quality however. The temps in my system are lower than what most are getting online so I think this compound does help, let's hope it lasts as long as the NT-H1 and I'll be very happy! I ignored Noctua and used the X application method as looking online this gives the best spread on common CPU sizes. Highly recommended.

Big fan of Noctua and this is no different. Does exactly what it’s meant to, applies easily, and helps keep temps nice and stable. Nothing flashy, just reliable performance which is what you want from thermal paste. Big thumbs up from me.

These come with all you need and is not conductive so you don't need to be perfect it has the pattens that are for each cpu type on the box so easy to use it last year with no lose of quality and cpu temperature stay low

Works like a charm. Does exactly what it advertises and its cheap.

Spot on best thermal paste about

Great product. Easy to use and instant results.

Great product. Keeps my thermals cool. :)

Good

Pâte thermique Notua parfait

llevo bastante tiempo con esta pasta térmica, es muy buenas ya que puede bajar 1 o 2 grados mas que otras pastas térmicas lo que me hizo comprarla es que viene con sus toallas de alcohol isopropílico que con una basta para limpiar el sistema de refrigeración que en este caso es una asus tuf f15, RECOMIENDO cambiar la pasta térmica segun el uso que le des ya sea esta pasta térmica o otra, solo infórmense bien sobre la conductividad térmica de la pasta

1. Noticeable Temperature Drop After applying the Noctua NT-H2, I managed to drop my CPU temps by about 10% under load. That might not sound like much on paper, but in practice it meant less thermal throttling and more stable performance during heavy gaming sessions. I could clearly see the difference compared to the stock paste I was using before. 2. Easy Application Process What impressed me most is how simple it was to apply. The paste spreads evenly without needing extra effort, and the included cleaning wipes made the prep work fast and clean. I’ve worked with pastes that are messy and hard to handle, but NT-H2 felt very forgiving. 3. Long-Term Reliability One of the reasons I chose Noctua is their reputation for stability, and this paste didn’t disappoint. It’s non-conductive, so there’s no risk of damaging components, and it’s rated to last for years without drying out. That gives me confidence I won’t need to re-apply anytime soon. 4. Perfect for CPUs and GPUs I tested it on my CPU first, but this paste is also safe for GPUs. Knowing I can use the same tube on my desktop CPU, GPU, and even a laptop repaste makes the value much better. At 3.5g, there’s enough for multiple applications. 5. Premium Brand That Delivers Noctua has always been my go-to for quality cooling, and NT-H2 reinforces that reputation. Between the lower temps, easy handling, and long-term peace of mind, I see it as an investment in system stability. It costs a bit more than generic pastes, but the performance gain justifies it.
