I got swifttechs copper sinks for my video card memory. I use AS crem. It seems that even after a week that the paste is still just like it first when I put it on. Does this stuff eventually dry up and stick better?
 
No it shouldn't dry up. Part of what makes a good thermal paste is the fact that it stays viscous for a very long time, thereby making it more effecient at transferring heat. To be honest, I don't know how you're supposed to make ramsinks stick...
 
you need thermal epoxy to make them stick, I owuld suggest mixing it with regular ceramique that you have so you can later remove them.

a 33/66% mix(33 themal epoxy, 66 paste) should do the trick while being removable
