Can I reuse opened thermal paste?

[Jacob_107]

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

yes you can reuse opened thermal paste as long as it is still in the tube. thats why it comes in 20G tubes.
