I just removed the heat sink to mod my cube and was shocked by the amount of thermal paste used on it. I decided to scrape off the material intending to apply some of my artic silver 5 that i use on my pc heatsink. however when looking at the cube cpu etc there is a large gap between the heat sink and cpu etc when the heat sink is placed over them. I would probably need several tubes of silver compound to make up the contact difference as oppoised to the pee size blob i used on my pc. Should it be ok to spread back out the old solution and reuse it. i have it wrapped in clingfilm to keep it fresh and assuming the cube dont get too hot i thought this would be ok. What did other people do when they got to this point? Recycle or splash out on oddles of paste??
