Product Information

Full details

The Noctua NT-H2 10g thermal paste is designed for PC enthusiasts and professionals seeking maximum thermal performance for their CPU or GPU cooling solutions. Its key benefit is its ability to significantly lower temperatures compared to stock pastes, ensuring optimal performance during demanding tasks like gaming or overclocking. A potential caveat is that while easy to apply, achieving peak performance still requires proper application technique.

FAQs

How much NT-H2 paste is in the 10g tube?

The 10g tube contains enough paste for approximately 9 applications on large CPUs (like TR4) up to around 60 applications on smaller CPUs (like LGA1200).

Do I need to spread the paste before installing the heatsink?

No, Noctua NT-H2 is designed to spread evenly under the pressure of the heatsink during installation. Simply apply a small amount to the center of the CPU or GPU die.

How long does Noctua NT-H2 last?

Noctua recommends a storage time of up to 3 years and a usage time on the CPU of up to 5 years, indicating excellent long-term stability.

What are the included cleaning wipes for?

The NA-CW1 cleaning wipes are provided to easily and effectively remove old thermal paste from your CPU, GPU, and heatsink surfaces before applying new paste.

Can I use NT-H2 on laptops?

Yes, NT-H2 is suitable for use in laptops to improve thermal transfer between the CPU/GPU and the heatsink.

Is NT-H2 conductive?

No, Noctua NT-H2 is non-conductive, meaning it poses no risk of short circuits if accidentally spread onto components surrounding the CPU or GPU.

Troubleshooting

Temperatures are not improving after application

Ensure the correct amount of paste was applied and the heatsink is securely mounted with even pressure. Double-check that the protective film was removed from the heatsink base if applicable. Verify the paste is not too old.

Paste is difficult to spread evenly

NT-H2 is designed to spread under heatsink pressure and does not require pre-spreading. Ensure the heatsink is mounted straight and with adequate, even pressure.

Cleaning wipes are drying out

Ensure the packet is sealed properly after use. If a wipe dries out, it can still be used with a small amount of water or IPA to aid in cleaning.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional thermal conductivity for lower temperatures
  • Easy to apply and remove with included wipes
  • High long-term stability and reliability
  • Wide compatibility with various cooling solutions and components
  • Sufficient quantity for numerous applications in the 10g package

Cons

  • Higher cost compared to generic thermal pastes
  • Requires careful application for best results
  • Cleaning wipes are single-use

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the CPU or GPU surface and the heatsink contact area are clean.
  2. Apply a small amount of NT-H2 thermal paste to the center of the CPU IHS (Integrated Heat Spreader) or GPU die. A pea-sized amount is typically sufficient for most CPUs. For larger surfaces like AMD's TR4 socket, a more generous application may be needed.
  3. Carefully install the heatsink, ensuring even pressure is applied across the surface. The paste does not require pre-spreading and will spread evenly under the pressure of the heatsink.

Compatibility:

Noctua NT-H2 is compatible with virtually all modern CPUs and GPUs, including:

  • CPUs: Intel LGA 1700, 1200, 115x, 20xx, AMD AM5, AM4, TR4, SP3, and older sockets.
  • GPUs: NVIDIA GeForce series, AMD Radeon series.
  • Other Devices: Laptops, game consoles (PS4/PS5, Xbox), and other devices requiring thermal interface material.

Care:

  • Store the thermal paste in a cool, dry place. Noctua recommends a storage time of up to 3 years.
  • To clean the paste from surfaces, use the provided NA-CW1 cleaning wipes. For stubborn residue, a lint-free cloth with isopropyl alcohol (IPA) may be used, but ensure surfaces are completely dry before reapplication.
