How long does Artic Silver 5 last?

[tutu]

I've got about 3 - 4 tubes now (from each new build!!). Does it ever expire as I keep wasting money on a new tube each time I rebuild!!

It lasts pretty much forever. It seperates after a while and might need a good shake but it's just silver mixed up with silicone or is it veggy extract? (I forget now).

To stop it seperating as quickly store upside down and/or refridgerate.

If it does seperate just give it a good shake and drain excess fluid off.

Stop buying AS5 - TX2 is better and easier to remove.

no it has no reason to expire (except it seperating which is easily solved)
