NonConductive, NonCorrosive, Long shelf life of up to 2yrs and 3yrs when applied to cpu, Many applications in a single tube
Thick consistency makes it a little hard to spread, Limited availability, Somewhat pricey
Long have been the days where the simple answer for looking for the best TIM's use to be, "oh, get Arctic Silver 5 they are the best," but now the years have passed and AS5 is starting to really show its age. Is AS5 still a fordable opponent in the ma...
Abstract: When we reviewed Arctic Coolings MX-2 thermal compound a while back, we were really quite impressed with, commenting that it was well worth the £6 or so that a syringe retailed for - Indeed, its price has since dropped lower still. In essence, Noctu...
Non conductive, non, corrosive, non, curing, etc, Solid performance, No burn, in time
Harder to spread than some
I was impressed by the performance of the Noctua NT-H1 thermal compound, especially considering this is Noctua’s first attempt at such a product. The compound delivers solid performance that is on-par or even slightly better than the some of the bet...
Great performance, No burnin time, Competitive pricing, Easy to use, Easy to clean up, Long storage time, Long usage time, Great for subzero cooling
Too new to verify longterm usage
The Noctua NT-H1 thermal compound was a pleasure to work with. It was easy to apply and the performance was great right from the start. No burn-in time was needed with the NT-H1, unlike Arctic Silver products. The storage and usage time look great, but...
Not electrically conductive, Instant thermal conductivity, Long usage time (up to 3yrs), Large amount in tube, many applications, Low price
Thick consistency, hard to spread, Not widely available
Obviously, from my testing, Noctua has a great product in their new NT-H1 thermal compound, it offers instant thermal conductivity, which translates to great performance from the minute you apply it. NT-H1 has many other features going for it as well,...
For a first try, Noctua has done a very good job. This compound has features that are in line with most other thermal materials being offered and goes a step further by ensuring their customer base that it is perfectly acceptable with phase change coo...
Extremely high performance, Smooth consistency, easy to spread, Easy to remove...
Not as cheap or as widely available as its closest competitor Arctic Silver 5, Requires more effort to spread on bare silicon than Arctic Silver 5...
I wasnt expecting the Noctua NT-H1 to out-perform Arctic Silver 5 (AS5) during the tests, but it did when the system was overclocked and producing the highest heatload, albeit by a very slim margin. The reasoning behind my doubts is the NT-H1 paste a...
Excellent Performance," Very inexpensive at some locations," Not electrically conductive," Easy to clean off," Suitable for Compressor Cooling," No Curing Time
Packaging should be designed a little better, security wise that is, Availability
We have to say Kudos to Noctua for designing a great thermal compound. It seems that the NT-H1 came in with a bang and seated itself into a very comfortable 2nd position overall in our testing. Since we have used averages, the temperature differences 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...
