We have another Noctua review for you today, this time we are testing their thermal paste. We see how it measures up to the strengths of the AS5.
Introduction
Today it’s time to test out Noctua’s thermal compound paste – Noctua NT-H1. Noctua have not failed in their endeavours in previous years to provide the market with some outstanding cooling solutions. But this time we look at their smallest counterpart.
Whilst thermal compound paste isn’t the most interesting of all reviews, it is essential because without a quality compound underneath the heatsink of your cooler you can say goodbye to low temperatures. We will be putting the Noctua NT-H1 up against the most popular thermal compound paste on the market – the Arctic AS5.
