Re: Thermal Compound question
It depends on the brand of paste you used. The stick on pads will dry out quickly.
Arctic Silver won't dry out, for quite a while, say... 6 months? (@ room temp)
BUT... it will attract dust and lint in air, which is not a good idea, since surfaces need to be very clean when installing parts, either CPU or heatsink cooler.
The paste is reasonably cheap to replace ($5-6 - 3.5 oz. tube), so I would recommend just removing it and applying again when ready to assemble components.
I bought my tube of Arctic Silver 5 in 2005, and changed CPU coolers at least 10 times since, and still have half a tube left over.
