We’re here at Computex 2026 checking out some new Noctua goodies, one of which seems to be a very interesting alternative to thermal paste. Alongside that they’re also showing off an AIO which looks pretty nifty

This channel is now the YouTube version of of tech QVC or HSN. Money really does make you scared to be different
Acoustic DAMPING, not dampening. Why would you want to make it wet?
2:40 why did we cut off the worried looking noctua guy from camera when linus was holding that mobo with one hand
So it's worse than liquid when you replace it and worse than a ptm when you don't?..
4000 thermal cycles to get equal performance? Why not just replace thermal,paste every 3 to 5 month, and enjoy the much better performance then just replace them
Noctua aint the same ever since hawk tuah
Okaaay, I guess it's time to change the thermal paste sigh
All we can hear is why not to buy it, it solves mo problem at all and costs more. Hard pass, for what? Just to save time reapplying thermal paste
Great now I have to Break in My PC
These ship with the 10th anniversary 5800X3D allegedly
Sign me up for that pumpless AIO.
So reapply thermal paste every 3-4 pc cleanings, visavi 5-8 months?!
Noctua is probably one of the very few company where people gets more excited if they're taking their time or delays their future products, because we know they're actually doing some real engineering shits and actually reports on updates and improvements during events.
Id like to hear if they tried using paste, their nano pad and then paste again and seeing if that helps or worsens or anything, same with if they did that with liquid metal, LM – nano pad – LM. Or is their technology better with the special polymer coating? Id imagine they've tried this and found their solution better, but would be interesting to hear what they had to say. I get this is supposed to replace the thermal paste but if it was to end up working better while using them together, i dont see why they wouldnt do it.
The Riley without a beard jumpscare 😂
for a datacenter that could be a good alternative! I know that we have issues at work
you mean the linus app is a fools errand
he needs all the information on how to save my items and anyone elses items and how to destroy you
hes asking where is your main server
Hey have you guys heard of project silica from Microsoft where they use glass as storage
9:05 Is that noctua colored 3D printer filament in the back?
If you are a tinker this product is not for you, if you are anyone else this product is not for you because you are probably not building PC. And this product is not for PC builder because they will not take the risk to deliver a PC that has poor thermals using a product that probably cost 3 times the price of high performance thermal paste. Average user will still take years before reaching the 5000 cycles required to reach the performance threshold. And I don't really see what is this product good for. To maximize performances, even small devices, workstations, servers need to have efficient thermal solutions at all times. And those are machines that will be serviced every year, maybe even multiple times a year and upgaded every 5 years. So using these pads would be a waste of performances and money. Or I am missing something…
Probably better for laptops
I have bought multiple Noctua fans in the past and was always disappointed with their performance unfortunately and had to keep looking.
I love to put it on my non existend PC Components
Sounds like it would be a good option for consoles like an Xbox, no body is reapplying paste to consoles
4:00 I beg your pardon
I thought it was hak-tu-a, no?
So first 5 years when your cpu is fresh and performant you got a crappie performance from that pad
So they made a product that incentives me to game more?
Will my wife accept this as a excuse for more gaming?
why not make a software to have a CPU thermal cycle faster?
This guy’s squeeky voice… no thank you.
at this point i thought carbon nanotubes weren’t even real
Better keep my cpu always warm
Is it me or Linus seems to have more problem with his s's today.
0:14 Carbon Nanotubes is no longer an instult?
How's this compared to kryosheet performance?
Why don't they pre cycle the material as part of manufacturing?
