Hmm, how do I start?
Well, when my dad was dumping all the styrofoam from the box...the thermal paste was somehow overlooked and it was dumped along with all styrofoam and it sat in the garbage can for about maybe one night and a whole day.
After a little bit of dumpster diving (heh) I found it and it still seems intact, but the outside of the capsule is sort of slightly greasy and I'm wondering if this might have ruined the compound inside. (Since they usually say to store things in a dry, cool place so I'm thinking it might be.)
Anyway, if anyone can answer whether or not my thermal paste will be affected or not because of it's slumber party in the garbage can, I will be thankful.
(The thermal paste is Artic Silver Ceramique, by the way.)
