Noctua NT-H1 Thermal Compound

Comment:
intel q6600 stock clock two.4ghz with arctic five, 70c under load, 44c idle. same chip using NT-H1 OVERCLOCKED to three.55ghz 33c idle, 62 below load. .........................................................................................AMD Phenom II 955 BLACK STOCK three.2ghz with arctic 5 temps reached 67c beneath load, 40c at idle. exact same chip working with Noctua NT-H1 OVERCLOCKED to 3.8ghz idle 29c, below heavy load 49c !!!!!!!! this puppy wont even crack the 50s. im sold. none what so ever!!!! i previously utilised arctic silver five for all of my cooling demands due to the fact of the popularity and evaluations. nonetheless immediately after 2 years use my temps started to sky rocket. even when i put the speeds of the cpu clock back to stock on my q6600 i was nevertheless reaching 70c.

Comment:
I used this with my H100 and it works like a charm. Easy to apply and its non-conductive.

Comment:
very impressed with the quality of the paste as it keeps my overclocked i5 at 30c while idle/doing basic internet browsing and so forth. No burn in time is also a bonus! i would recommend this product to a friend and would also buy it again.

Comment:
Had some "factory" installed paste on my old computer that left my old computer at 55ish (max 61 on that processor) under full load from prime95...NOT overclocked. (amd 64x2 3800+ 939 2.0g) replaced the stuff the builder put on it for me with this, dropped the temp 7c. Not negative for just paste. presently using on my new pc i7 2600k @ four.6 (will be raising this) with the noctua nh-d14 running at about 58-60c under full load (tried each prime95 or intel burn test) not no cost? would extremely advocate this or just about any product from noctua.

None that I know of Dries out genuinely swift. Took off cpu, and the thermal grease was difficult and dry. Will not acquire once more!

Comment:
This is the best compound on the marketplace at the moment. It is thermally superior than other compounds (by 1-2 deg C over TX-two and the other close runners), as properly as being non-conductive and incredibly effortless to apply. Even though there are better and worse installations you will never ever have to be concerned about causing brief circuits that will fry your program or other issues like with AS-5. Tuniq TX2 is half the price and just as effortless to apply. AS-5 gets all the hype even although it isn't worth working with with so a lot of far better products readily available. It's a shame that Tuniq and Noctua don't get additional mainstream attention.

Keeps my lightly OC'd 2500k at 30c idle and no more than 60 running the intel burn test. Very happy with it.

Comment:
Spreads very easy, good for like 10 computer uses, i usually buy 5 or 6 at a time, lasts me many builds. Excellent product especially when a couple degree lowering makes that much difference!

Comment:
This seems to be excellent thermal compound. I haven't done a formal test personally, but from what I can see in contrast to some other thermal pastes it needs no cure time, my temps based on my motherboard haven't gone down due to the paste needing to cure at all. It's at least as excellent as AS 5, and if absolutely nothing else better then it due to the lack of any cure time. It would make a terrible, probably toxic toothpaste. :) Seriously, no problems at all with this item. I do suggest making use of this product. Us as considerably as you'd use with any other thermal paste applied via a syrenge (small rice grain sized dollup, possibly just a TAD larger at most) and you have enough as I'm sure most will know. It did appear to apply just slightly easier then AS 5 as nicely, it was slightly simpler to smear across the CPU's heat spreader.

Comment:
Nicely, this thermal grease does what it says it does and running some heat tests proved it. None on the item itself, but the packaging is fairly big for a syringe. I use to use Artic Silver 5 for all my systems. My Core I7's ran about 30 degrees C and this was steady for years right after. Now with this thermal grease, exact same two machines now run 24-25C. I could not believe it. I recommend that you take your time, remove the board from your case and clean up the old cooler and the CPU genuinely good. Then add on and put it all back. I am converted.

Comment:
Used this compound for several AMD and Intel cpus and the cooling effect was much better than the stock thermal paste on the boxed cooler. Very easy to apply the paste and it just works well.

Comment:
Keeps my cpu very cool even under stress test along with the noctua heatsink I brought. Quite easy to spread and the injector makes it easy to get the exact amount you need. On sale, this is a very good purchase

Comment:
Good compound. I have not tested it against other compounds like AS5, but it's leagues ahead of the stuff they throw on stock heatsinks.Doesn't seem to dry up very fast. Definitely worth keeping a tube around.

Comment:
I needed to get some TIM for an upgrade and this stuff has worked quite well. I've used a couple different brands in the past and this has outperformed the others by a few degrees. I can't really say too much because it's just thermal grease but it does work good; and since it's Noctua you know it is a quality product. Just make sure you grab it when on sale. Recommended!

Comment:
came with my Noctua NH-C12P cooler. works fine. note that this is a bit more expensive than other thermal compounds, but if you buy a Noctua cpu cooler, it should be included. Had i known this i would not have bought an arctic 5.

Comment:
I recently replaced a defective CPU on one of my computers and I need a thermal compound so I bought this one. The compound works really well and it's non-conductive so I didn't have to worry about it accidentally touching something electrical. Overall it works well to as a thermal paste.

Comment:
It's hard to review an item like this because all greases are essentially the same. Just like every other grease available, this product worked well and I'm satisfied fully with the performance.

Comment:
Fairly decent thermal compound for $7, comes with a slick casing and long tube, making it alot easier to hold. Would buy again.

Comment:
Pretty decent thermal compound and the fact that it doesn't require any burn time and isn't electrical conductance is real nice (so it won't short your mobo if things get messy). It's performance is almost comparable to OCZ Freeze and for $5 how can you go wrong.

Comment:
there isnt a whole lot to say about thermal paste i liked the price and it does the job its not the best stuff out there but if your just building budget machines its as good as any

Comment:
Got one of these to replace the stock intel paste. Works a little better and great price when it was on sale.Works great.

Comment:
Help reduce temperature by a few degrees compared to run-of-the-mill TIM that comes with your processors. Applied between an old Pentium-4 and its stock heat sink; reduced temp by about 3C under load. Replaced TIM from a Xigmatek CPU cooler with it; noticed no improvement at all.

Comment:
I got this on sale for 5.99 and it works good. I don't stress my own machine and only build basics for people. It is always a good thing to have around.

Comment:
I won't pay $15 for it, and my MX-2 compound seem to do better then this stuff. BUt for $5, who am I to argue, and it never hurt to keep a spare stick of thermal paste around at home.

Comment:
At $5, it is well worth the money, one of the best but if you have to pay more than 5, there are better option out there.
