Thank you. I think that # refers to the in-use situation. I was just wondering how long it'll stay usable in storage in unopened condition. I imagine it's at least a couple of years.

Maybe about 3 years or so...i don't recommend it but I've used paste that's been sitting for 3yrs or so with no issues.

Ya. That sounds about right. I have a build planned in a few months. I'll grab a tube. It's one of the best!

How do you guys spread your compound? In other words is the spatula worth an extra $3.09?

Nah. Just use an old credit, debit or cash card. Cut it to the appropriate size. I just put a system together a couple of weeks ago (i7-12700K). That's what I did and it worked beautifully. Honestly, you don't even need to do that. You can use a pea-sized dollop in the center of the IHS. It'll spread out when you install the cooler over it.

I did a build about 2 months ago.
Have this exact thermal paste purchased during 2019.

I did order another one for the build to compare. Did two pea size comparison. new one bought in 2021 definitely better. Older one can work,but texture is a little different from 2+ years of sitting in a draw.

A timely tip: a little thermal paste rubbed into the index fingertip of your winter gloves makes 'em work with your phone's touchscreen!

Thank you. This is very helpful! I noticed the 8 g is on sale for $8.90 but it says right on the label "2019 Edition." So I don't think I'll get that, lol.

If you don't mind me asking, what specs are you looking to get? Also, i use mx4, kpx, kryonaut, gelid extreme and another i can't recall. Kpx on my 3960x, kryonaut on my gpus and currently using gelid on my 5950x.

Lol oops !! did cost a sell there on 8g ? 😂
Like I said it can work. But imo not worth the few dollars to redo whole thing again later on with newer paste.

Better off just do the new fresh batch and forget about it for 2-3 years.

Buy thermal paste when you need it, don't buy it because a slickdeal !

Mostly two: thermal performance and how easily it spreads. I used Gelid Extreme on my son's PC that we just built. It worked well, although I thought it was a little messy to spread. We're happy with the thermal performance though. On the i7-12700K, we're getting temps of 35 C (idle) and 60 C (gaming), although we haven't really stressed the system.
