Any cool and dry cupboard or drawer should be fine. No special conditions required.

my paste the ones I got state a short shelve life read what brand you intend to use has to say on that 2 to 4 months after its been opened cause once its exposed to air it may start to cure [ I e-mailed artic on this to see what they say]

From Noctua's own info sheet for NT-H1:

Recommended storage time: up to 2 years

Put the tube in a sealed baggie with most of the air removed..

I guess its best to find out from brand to brand like I said its just a e-mail to them to see what they say [ I don't buy bulk anyway just the small tube to do the job at hand that way I always know its fresh unopened ]... opinion

was that after its been opened??

From Noctua's own info sheet for NT-H1:

''Recommended storage time: up to 2 years''

mine says that just for a unopened product
''Shelf Life 24 months from DOM '' dom= date of manufacture-- not after its been opened

anyway best answer been selected
