artic silver 5 age limit?

I've had this tube of AS5 for like 4 years and it seems stickier than I remember, does this stuff ever go bad with age or am I just imagining things?

As long as you can spread it, it should be fine. You don't want to use any of the chunky stuff. If you squeeze that tube you should be able to get to some good stuff eventually.

How was it stored? So long as it was stored on it's side I wouldn't be too worried. Sometimes if the is stored vertically for an extended period of time you can get some settling of the particulate which can result in the next application being somewhat thicker than it was when it was previously used. Keep in mind AS5 is pretty thick anyway, at least thicker than AS3 was...
