The initial skepticism about the NT-H2 subsided very quickly. We have exposed this thermal paste to various tests and it gives excellent results across the whole spectrum of them. The original NT-H1, which Noctua will continue to offer as a cheaper option, served well as a reference point for comparison. The new NT-H2 already belongs to the high-end as it should. See for yourselves in a detailed review.
Today, we’ll focus on what happens inside a case when a CPU is under heavy load. We’ll run a Cinebench 2024 rendering on a Ryzen R9 7950X cooled by a Noctua NH-D15 G2 air cooler with AM5 offset mounting bars and see how it affects the temperatures and how all the values change with different settings of the system fans’ performance across their entire operating speed range.

Although very low, we did observe some vibration even with the Noctua NF-A14x25 G2 PWM fans. However, one question still remains unanswered, namely, how much range can there be in the observed vibrations across samples. We will focus on this in the coming weeks, and you can make your own guesses about the range of vibrations. The most accurate of you will then win… yes, the Noctua NF-A14x25 G2 PWM.

The range of 140mm fans is now expanded by the Noctua NF-A14x25 G2 PWM. The wait for this model was very long, but finally, after various hardships, everything was brought to a successful end. This, by the way, is also indicated by our in-depth tests, from which the NF-A14x25 G2 fan takes away the “best” results across many usage scenarios. This is also due to the significant innovations in the aerodynamic design. Read more “Noctua NF-A14x25 G2 PWM: Finally a first-class 140mm fan”
