Most CPU coolers come accompanied with thermal paste provided by the manufacturer. For our CPU cooling tests we use Noctua’s NT-H1, so to offer up some interesting analysis we test the thermal paste which is already applied to the water block (Dow-Corning) to see which gives the best results during stock and overclocked performance.
As you can see from the results, the quality of the paste which is pre-applied on H105 is very good. It almost matches that of the reliable Noctua NT-H1.
