just curious, will it dry up? I still have a CM tube leftover, not sure if keep or throw

According to the FAQ it shouldn't. But that's for AS3, dunno if the same for CM one.. cos AS3 is silver compound

I'd just get the cheapest thing i find and use that, currently got 1 big 30oz tube of thermal paste from sls at $8

 

[wacko]

Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut, because some reviews put it as the best non-conductive TIM.

One of the worst thermal compound that I had experience seeing it dry up is the MX3. Dry liao machiam like powder.

The problem is not whether they become clay or powder. It is that they dry up too fast for my liking. I'm a lazy person, dun like to keep having to reapply my thermal compound.

Cable wicking out oil... And rubber material issues might surface... Plus oil evaporate too...

After that ur hardware no need to sell off liao cos no one will want an oily component... So think hard about it... That's also why u don see ppl actually use top end computer parts for their mineral rig...
