	Excellent performance NT-H1 consists of a hybrid compound of different micro-particles, which has been specifically optimized for use in PC environments. Thanks to its extremely low thermal resistance as well as excellent pliability and spreadability, NT-H1 achieves outstanding results.
	Maximum ease of use & efficient dosage As NT-H1 spreads very well under pressure, there's no need to smear it over the heat-spreader. This reduces both the consumption of paste and the time spent on the installation process: Put one drop of NT-H1 onto the centre of your CPU, install the cooler and that's it!
	Top-performance right from the start NT-H1 reaches its full performance extremely fast and doesn't require a longer burn-in time.
	Excellent long-term stability NT-H1 doesn't contain any solvents or other substances with low flash point and provides excellent long-term stability. Due to the compound's exceptional curing, bleeding, dry-out und thermal cycling characteristics, NT-H1 can be used for several years without any problems.
	Not electrically conductive, non-corroding NT-H1 possesses a very low dielectric constant and a high dielectric strength. Therefore, there's no danger of short-circuits even in case of direct contact with components or conducting paths. Fully compatible with all materials commonly employed in PC environments, NT-H1 is suited for use with aluminum and copper coolers.
	Suitable for compressor cooling NT-H1 is perfectly suited for use with compressor coolers. Even at the very lowest temperatures, the paste delivers full performance and remains easy to clean off.

[T]he Noctua heatpaste seems to be the winner by a tiny fraction, beating the other two contenders by a degree at both idle and full load.

Test verdict: The Noctua NT-H1 comes to the heatpaste arena with a solid result, beating Artic Silver 5 by a small margin, but small enough to pronounce it the winner. (Steve Parker, XSReviews.co.uk)



10.07.2010: Thermal Paste Review

Noctua's claims about their NT-H1 thermal paste are well justified, especially since differences of 3°C or higher will pay huge dividends when you are trying to get your maximum clock out of your processor.  We took every precaution to ensure identical testing environments, so we believe these results to be very accurate, and the Noctua NT-H1 thermal paste certainly shines over Arctic Cooling's MX-2 Thermal paste!
