Arctic Silver 5

Just to let you know that Arctic Thermal paste should not be used as a lubricant even though it is described as a grease. Should you wish to grease your sears then use something else. Arctic Thermal 5 is a compound to use between your cpu and heat sink to transmit heat away from the processor. The shelf life is apparently indefinite (American UC - no sell by date) and should not be ingested. Just thought you aught to know, and please do throw it in the bin. Dispose of sensibly - but hey it lasts forever so you could lend it out to friends.
