As the title says. I Bought some Noctua NT-H1 and I was wondering if you could just apply it and then fire things up, or do you have to wait a couple hours? :confused:
 
It'll work straight away
But it might not be at its best it'll uve run the pc for abit
Depends on the paste
 
Aye, some pastes will take several heat/cool cycles to bed in properly, but you're only talking a degree or two, and you are perfectly safe to use your PC at full tilt from the word go.
