I’m so impressed with this thermal paste, I’ve gone crazy. I applied it to everything that I could, including other computers in my home that barely run and barely get their CPU cooling fans to spin. Everything I applied it to resulted in significant decreases in temperatures. My greatest success story is with my Razer laptop. Despite poor Razer build quality, the laptop itself is rather impressive and has few flaws. One of its flaws, however, is its cooling solution. The Intel i7-8550U processor runs hard and creates a lot of heat. This heat just isn’t well managed by the tiny laptop cooling solution. As I brought home the laptop for an upcoming journey (currently writing this on a place for a fun fact), I decided I would reapply its thermal paste as well. Let me just say that the laptop doesn’t get nearly as hot at the top of the keyboard. In fact, I am blown away with my jaw dropped on how well the processor stays cool. While HWMonitor is reporting only a 5 – 6 °C difference from before and after, the external temperatures on the aluminum case are a huge success to me. I understand that Noctua is a company that makes a living by selling components that cool computer processors. However, even with their background, their thermal paste truly impresses me. Soon to be available on Amazon.com, I highly recommend the Noctua NH-H2 thermal paste. The performance gained from this excellent paste has me believing more and more about the importance of thermal paste.

"Despite using other thermal pastes in my computer building career, I plan on only using NH-H2 in the future and recommend you do the same. Especially considering its long-lasting shelf life and 5-year replacement recommendation once applied to the PC." (Justin Vendette, QWERTY Articles)
