Here at TBG, we have a thing for coolers, we've tested well over 60 at this point, which gives us a whole lot of experience with the tedious task of applying (and removing!) thermal paste. So we thought it was time to put together a little shootout and how-to guide on thermal pastes, and their closely-related cousin, thermal pads. We rounded up four of the most popular contenders to see which ones pulled ahead in performance, ease of use, or both!

"Well, in the end, we do have a winner, Noctua NT-H2! It's a bit more expensive than most pastes, but it includes 3 cleaning wipes in the box (or 10 if you go with the larger 10g tube), plus it offers exceptional performance and an ideal viscosity for easy application."
