Thats a good test and surprising at times but I'm interested in the thing that can't be measured in a one off test and thats longevity
I ask because I recently disassembled a cpu and cooler and the AS5 paste was as good as the day it was put there 5 years ago. I don't know what they use for it but its amazingly stable.
So has anyone had experiences of temperatures rising or paste solidifying over time with any brand/compound? The rather large cooler I have at present is not something I'd want to dismantle in a hurry, or often.
