Greater than one weekI bought this compound to replace the stock thermal paste in my Dell Precision 5530 laptop after having some trouble with the cooling reading recommendations that I do this. I had first tried to do so with some cheap paste I had kicking around, however this made little to no difference. With a healthy dose of skepticism, I decided to pay a little more for a premium thermal compound and figure out once and for all if there really is a difference. My testing wasnt particularly controlled, but I can say for sure, there is an appreciable difference. While idle temperatures didnt really change, I could tell from the off that the stability of my temperatures was drastically improved. Rather than seeing temperatures jumping around maybe +- 10C, I was instead seeing +-1C. I guess this indicates the effective thermal mass of the chip and its cooler was drastically increased. This was more evident with temperatures under load where, as well as the improved stability, the actual measured temperatures were significantly lower, in the region of 10-15C lower. I cant be sure if this is a measure of how good this thermal compound is, or how bad the stock / generic stuff is, but I can say this is significantly better and seems to be a quality product.

> 3 daySin duda la mejor que existe. Le he puesto a mi i7 está pasta con una refrigeración líquida Corsair Hydro H75 y la temperatura de la cpu no sube de 55° -60°

> 3 dayDie beste Wärmeleitpaste meiner Meinung nach. Temperaturen sind gleich wie mit Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut, aber viel angenehmer aufzutragen. Es genügt ein Kleks in der Mitte des Heatspreaders.

07-06-2025all in all this is the best paste on the market, ,maybe intel should take a few pointers from noctua by applying better paste under the lid

> 3 dayIt was harder to spread than its competitors arctic and thermal grizzly. It also didnt make a big thermal difference as thermal grizzly
NT-H2 is the further improved second generation of Noctua’s award-winning hybrid thermal compound. Combining the iconic NT-H1’s proven features, superb ease-of-use and renowned long-term stability with a novel, fine-tuned formula of micro particles for even better thermal performance, NT-H2 is an enthusiast-grade paste for the highest demands. Whether it’s air- or water-based cooling, CPU or GPU applications, overclocking or silent systems: NT-H2 will consistently deliver outstanding results and thanks to the included cleaning wipes, it is just as easy to remove as to apply.
Next-generation performance
Further improving the award-winning NT-H1, NT-H2 uses a new, fine-tuned mixture of metal oxide micro-particles for even lower thermal resistance and reduced bond-line thickness at typical mounting pressures. This allows it to achieve even better performance in most application scenarios.

Easy to clean with included wipesThe 3.5g pack of NT-H2 includes three large NA-CW1 cleaning wipes that are pre-moistened with an isopropyl alcohol mixture and make it child’s play to remove: Simply wipe off the paste from the CPU and the base of the cooler using one of the wipes and you’re done! |
Not electrically conductive, non-corrodingWhile some high-end thermal compounds and pads are risky to use due to their electrical conductivity or corroding properties, there’s no risk of short-circuits with NT-H2 and it’s completely safe to use with any type of CPU cooler, regardless of whether it’s made from copper or aluminium and whether it’s nickel-plated or not. |
Excellent long-term stabilityNT-H2 unique formula is highly stable over time, even after longer periods of usage. It can be stored at room temperature for at least 3 years and due to the compound’s exceptional curing, bleeding, dry-out and thermal cycling characteristics, it can be used on the CPU for 5 years or more. |
3.5g package for 3-20 applicationsSufficient for around 3-20 applications (depending on the size of the CPU or GPU, e.g. around 3 applications for large CPUs such as TR4 and around 20 for small CPUs such as LGA1151), the classic 3.5g packaging size is ideal for most users who only install coolers every now and then. |
Easy to apply
Thanks to its excellent spreading properties, there is no need to manually spread NT-H2 before installing the cooler: Simply apply some paste onto the CPU (see instructions for details), put on the heatsink and you’re ready to go!
