Anyone know the shelf life of Shin-Etsu thermal compound? I got a couple E5-2640 v2s cheap on Ebay that wound up being new sealed HP CPU Kits, complete with alcohol wipes and tubes of Shin-Etsu thermal compound in sealed bags.
Normally, I'd throw it away, since I have no idea how old it is (Intel shipped these CPUs from 2013 all the way to 2019). But, I've never used Sin-Etsu, so have no idea what the shelf life is. I'll probably use newer to be safe, but it got me curious.
