Application

NT-H1 has a gray appearance and is rather thick. It’s a very strange compound in that it doesn’t feel “slimy” or “gooey.” It actually has a rather stiff and thick consistency.


Installation


Noctua recommends putting a small dab of the paste in the middle of the processor die, followed by twisting the heat sink clockwise and counter clockwise a couple of times in order to spread the grease. I tried this with great results: the paste was completely spread across the CPU as well as the heatsink.
