Hi.
GA-6VTXE-A
PIII-S 1133 @ 1276 (FSB 150)

I recently bought Thermaltake Volcano 7 cooler (new old stock), and found an unused syringe of this TIM (as old as the cooler probably) in the box.
Is this TIM good enough for this particular CPU/Cooler for slight (133->150) overclocking?

Try it? Usually after a few years of sitting, silver thermal pastes start losing their composition and separate, so you'd have to try it and see.

Decided to use Arctic MX-4 instead. Temps are much better (like 20 degrees lower).

Even the best thermal paste is done after 8 years, so better don't use old one.
