Product Information

Full details

The Noctua NT-H2 is an enthusiast-grade thermal paste designed for users demanding the highest performance in cooling, suitable for both air and water cooling setups. Its key benefit is superior thermal conductivity for overclocking or silent operation, with a caveat that the included 3.5g size offers a limited number of applications. It builds upon the award-winning NT-H1, featuring a refined micro-particle formula for reduced thermal resistance and excellent ease of application and removal.

FAQs

How much NT-H2 paste is included in the 3.5g package?

The 3.5g package contains enough paste for approximately 3 to 20 applications, depending on the size of the CPU or GPU cooler base.

Do I need to spread the NT-H2 paste before installing the cooler?

No, NT-H2 has excellent spreading properties and can be applied directly to the CPU. The pressure from mounting the cooler will spread it evenly.

Is NT-H2 electrically conductive?

No, NT-H2 is not electrically conductive, making it safe to use with any type of CPU cooler without the risk of short-circuits.

Does NT-H2 require a break-in period?

No, NT-H2 is ready to provide optimal performance immediately after application and does not require any special break-in or curing time.

How long can I store unused NT-H2 paste?

NT-H2 can be stored at room temperature for at least 3 years and remains effective for use on a CPU for 5 years or more.

Are cleaning wipes included with the 3.5g pack?

Yes, the 3.5g pack includes three large NA-CW1 cleaning wipes pre-moistened for easy paste removal.

Can I use NT-H2 on graphics cards (GPUs)?

Yes, NT-H2 is suitable for use on GPUs as well as CPUs for applications requiring high thermal performance.

Troubleshooting

Thermal paste difficult to spread evenly

NT-H2 has excellent spreading properties and does not require manual spreading. Ensure the cooler is mounted with even, consistent pressure.

High CPU temperatures after application

Verify the cooler is properly seated and mounted with adequate pressure. Ensure the correct amount of paste was applied and that no dust or debris is obstructing airflow. Re-clean and re-apply if necessary.

Cleaning wipes are dry

Ensure the wipe packaging is sealed properly after each use. If a wipe becomes dry, use a lint-free cloth with a small amount of isopropyl alcohol for cleaning.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Delivers excellent thermal performance for demanding users.
  • Simple to apply and easy to clean with included wipes.
  • High long-term stability ensures performance over many years.
  • Safe to use with any cooling solution due to non-conductivity.

Cons

  • The 3.5g size provides a limited number of applications (3-20).
  • May be overkill for basic system builds where extreme cooling isn't a priority.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure both the CPU's Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS) and the cooler's base plate are clean. Use the included NA-CW1 wipes or a lint-free cloth with isopropyl alcohol for cleaning.
  2. Apply a small amount of NT-H2 paste to the center of the CPU's IHS. The amount will vary based on CPU size, but a pea-sized amount is typical for standard CPUs.
  3. Carefully mount your CPU cooler, ensuring even pressure is applied as per your cooler's mounting instructions. The paste will spread under pressure.

Compatibility:

  • NT-H2 is compatible with all Noctua CPU coolers and third-party air and water cooling solutions.
  • It is safe for use with all CPU types (Intel and AMD) and cooler materials (copper, aluminum, nickel-plated).
  • The paste is not electrically conductive and will not cause short circuits.

Care:

  • Store the paste at room temperature in its original packaging.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
  • The paste has a minimum shelf life of 3 years and remains effective for 5+ years of use on a CPU.
