I was just wondering, I got a Thermal Grease with the ZALMAN CNPS9500 LED 2 and dont plan on using right now, is there an expiration date on the thing?
 
that paste sucks.. really, its not good. I can only suggest you get a bottle of STG-01 (Zalman) or Arctic Silver 5 (my preference goes to the first one tough tbh.)

but,.. no there isnt a date on it.. besides that, the cooler isnt out for very long already, so even if, i really doubt it would have gone bad already ;)


edit: i assume you want to cool your PIII with it? then i think you could try the paste that came with it.. but i wouldnt want to use it on my pc :o
 
Oh, no no no, this p3 is going to be donated to the church, building from scratch, I'm sorta struggling between amd 64 4000+ or core 2 duo, the price difference is sorta big right now so... I kinda thinking I should go with 4000
 
the white paste stuff is basically crap in a tube. i believe it's silicon based or something. at least get yourself some silver based stuff with some actual metal content, if not the as5 or the zalman stuff.

i vote zalman too, as it's easier to apply and regulate the amount you use. with the paste, a smooth coat doesn't mean even coverage. but with the zalman, it's pretty much a liquid you brush on.
