Hey so I'm getting everything in today and my case Saturday but I was thinking about the i5 and remembered I'd probably wanna replace the stock paste.
1st question is do these things ever go bad? I've had mine for quite some time but always with a protective cap on in a small plastic cubby.
2nd - Would you recommend Artic Silver 5 or Shin Etsu MicroSi? I've used both and if I remember correctly the Shin Etsu was a considerable amount more thick.
3rd - Would you say putting about a BB size drop in the center and spreading with my finger in a plastic bag will be an ok technique? Any other techniques you recommend? I'm using the stock cooler unfortunately temporarily.
Thanks!
