    AM5 Edition with thermal paste guard

    When the mounting pressure of the cooling solution is applied, excess thermal paste will be squeezed outwards. With AM5 CPUs, this excess paste tends to accumulate in the cut-outs at the sides of the heatspreader and may become difficult to remove. Simple to apply, the NA-TPG1 prevents this undesired phenomenon.

    Easy to clean with included wipes
    The 3.5g pack of NT-H2 includes three large NA-CW1 cleaning wipes that are pre-moistened with an isopropyl alcohol mixture and make it child's play to remove: Simply wipe off the paste from the CPU and the base of the cooler using one of the wipes and you're done!

    Not electrically conductive, non-corroding
    While some high-end thermal compounds and pads are risky to use due to their electrical conductivity or corroding properties, there's no risk of short-circuits with NT-H2 and it's completely safe to use with any type of CPU cooler, regardless of whether it's made from copper or aluminium and whether it's nickel-plated or not.

    Excellent long-term stability
    NT-H2 unique formula is highly stable over time, even after longer periods of usage. It can be stored at room temperature for at least 3 years and due to the compound's exceptional curing, bleeding, dry-out and thermal cycling characteristics, it can be used on the CPU for 5 years or more.

    Sufficient for around 3-20 applications (depending on the size of the CPU or GPU, e.g. around 3 applications for large CPUs such as TR4, 15 for AM4/AM5 or LGA1700, and around 20 for small CPUs such as LGA1151), the classic 3.5g packaging size is ideal for most users who only install coolers every now and then.

     

    Easy to apply

    Thanks to its excellent spreading properties, there is no need to manually spread NT-H2 before installing the cooler: Simply apply some paste onto the CPU (see instructions for details), put on the heatsink and you're ready to go!

    Noctua NT-H2 3.5g AM5 Edition is a premium thermal compound for users building or maintaining AMD AM5 PCs, with an included paste guard that helps keep thermal paste out of the CPU heatspreader cut-outs.

    Recommended For

    • AM5 desktop builders who want to reduce paste collecting in the processor’s heatspreader cut-outs; the included NA-TPG1 guard is designed for that use.
    • PC builders replacing or reinstalling a CPU cooler who want a straightforward application: NT-H2 can be applied as dots without manually spreading it, and the pack includes three cleaning wipes.
    • Builders who prefer a conventional, non-electrically-conductive paste for CPU cooler installations rather than a specialty interface material; Noctua lists NT-H2 as non-conductive and compatible with copper or aluminum cooler surfaces.
    • PC owners who want to leave a CPU paste application in place for years rather than repaste frequently; Noctua recommends up to five years of use on the CPU.

    Real-World Use Scenarios

    • When building or upgrading an AM5 Ryzen PC, apply NT-H2 with the included guard in place; it helps keep squeezed-out paste from collecting in the heatspreader cut-outs, making the CPU easier to clean.
    • When replacing or reseating an AM5 cooler, clean off the old compound with an included wipe, then reapply NT-H2 with the guard; this makes the maintenance job less messy around the CPU’s cut-outs.
    • For a first-time CPU cooler installation, apply the recommended dots and mount the heatsink without manually spreading the paste; Noctua’s instructions describe this as a straightforward application method.
    • When servicing a desktop CPU cooler after prolonged use, replace the old paste and clean both contact surfaces; Noctua recommends NT-H2 for use on a CPU for up to five years, so routine replacement is not typically needed just because time has passed.
    • When repasting a graphics card during cooler maintenance, NT-H2 can be applied between the GPU chip and cooler; the AM5 guard is for AM5 CPUs and is not relevant to this job.
