    Can I reuse opened thermal paste?

    Hey there, I built my first PC just a couple of months ago and after applying the thermal paste I still got enough in the tube so I kept it with the lid on. Would it be fine to use it on another CPU even if that tube has been opened and used? Many thanks, Jacob
