OCZ thermal compound (quick question)

[nymedic828]

Im in the process of ordering new components to rebuild my system and I have a tube of "OCZ Ultra High Density Silver Thermal Compound" with I imagine more than enough compound left in it.

Is this stuff ok to use or should I purchase a new tube of Acrtic Silver or something? Its years old I don't know if it goes bad or anything...

As long as it was sealed and stored in a dark cool place it should be ok.
Any new aftermarket cooler ships with good paste in my experience.
I'd just use the new coolers paste.
