How dry is dry? lol
I had a discussion other day with a mate about if thermal paste is like tomato sauce, should you keep it in a fridge (like he does) or in a dry low temp like shelve or cupboard.
The experiement is ongoing....
i would change it once a year,just to be on the safe side (mental note to myself...must buy some new paste)
Nearly finished my tube of Arctic Silver that came from an OCUK order placed around the turn of the decade. So a tube around 10 years old last time I used it.
My temps were no different when using the supplied Zalman mini tube paste I got with a cooler.
Arctic Silver 3? Ah, no... AS3 is from 2003. I still have a tube of that.
If your thermal paste is like tomato sauce, it's not very good thermal paste. :/
