Abstract: The short answer, an element of physical contact is needed to transfer heat efficiently between the heat spreader and the heat sink. Thermal paste essentially plugs the gaps which allow for better heat transfer.This isn't such a straightforward answer, bu...

ConnorI spent some time researching TIM application prior to review. Theirs seems to be an ongoing debate about the correct application method. The grain of rice/pea sized method or the spreading method. Noctua instructs the user to use a single drop in t...

Abstract: Finding the right thermal paste for your system is no easy task, as there are quite a lot of brands out there and from my experience, one person says “X is better than Y” the other says “Y is better than X”. In all honesty, pretty much any thermal paste o...
Abstract: It's time for the numbers. In addition to testing liquid metal compounds and thermally conductive adhesives, each paste is discussed on its own merits before we chart out the results of four usage cases. After all, these products behave differently. If ...
Abstract: Thermal paste is probably the most disregarded part of building a PC. However, thermal grease can be a very important factor for users wanting to overclock or game heavily. One of the leading manufacturers in this field is Arctic Cooling with their Arc...

Great performance, No burn in needed, Thicker paste (no need to spread by hand, easier to apply)
New to the market so hard to get hold of
Noctua’s NT-H1 is a very capable thermal paste. It beats the enthusiast’s thermal paste of choice (AS5), which given AS5’s performance is no small feat. If you are still using AS5 perhaps it is time to check out the better performers on...
It would have made this conclusion a whole easier if there was a definite difference between the products tested, but unfortunately that was not obviously the case. If you have a higher TDP processor, then you are likely to see the Noctua paste edge a...
Abstract: The Noctua NT-H1 is probably one of my personal favorites when it comes to the choice of thermal paste for my personal PC build because of its surprisingly reasonable price and performance as compared to some of the more premium-priced options available o...
Now it comes to end part! We have a great time playing with this two beast. Look at that temperature recorded! Noctua flagship cooler, NH-D15S almost beat all the cooler out there even on liquid cooler. In fact, single fan is more than enough to tame any...
