stock thermal paste TT

is the stock thermal paste that comes with the TT good?

i ask because i just replaced it with MX-2 and the temps stayed the same and in some cases went up

it used to be a steady 61! help

hmm, id did it all very carefully tho. so i dont know what i would do differently. any recommendations?

okies i did a reseat and temps seem to be back to normal. but they are rather unstable. eg it goes from 59C to 65C to 63C to 59C again etc etc. seems odd. nothing to worry about? it used to stay on 61C all the time.
