Prolimatech PK-3 Durability?

[pkrumins]

Hey guys,

Does anyone know what the durability of Prolimatech PK-3 paste is? I want to try it out in one of my setups but I don't want to re-apply it every year.

For example, I know MX-4 is super durable, I've a system running with it and it's still cooling well 4 years later. I want to try Prolimatech PK-3 but is it going to be as durable? Reviews show 1-2C improvement over MX-4 that I really like but if the durability isn't that great then I'll stick with MX-4 and won't use PK-3.

What do you think?

Sincerely,

I've used PK-3 for a bit over a year in my old setup with no real change in temps. It looked fine(not dried out) during disassembly when I removed my waterblock. I'm using it again for my new system.

Sounds awesome. I'll try PK3 then and see what happens! Dropping those Kelvins!

Nice! Should work just fine.
