Well, it seems that stuff like Arctic Silver is fairly liquid, but settles over a few days, so it's liquid for the purposes of the application, then solid for long term use.

So... obviously, once it has settled, one would not want to move it at all.

Also, as I opened this thread, I pointed out the importance of sticking that paste in there, with some pressure, from all directions.

Some people have resorted to bypass the whole thermal paste issue, by using a waterblock that shoots water directly on the core. What's wrong with that?
