I like that idea, i might do that next time just lay it down next to a radiator. Its hot enough to thin the paste but not ruin the tube or melt the plastic :laugh:

MX-3 is good that's what i would buy but i think you really need to clean the cooler surface and the cpu, i know it costs a bit but you can use things like articlean that clean it off properly. You can get them in bundles with paste on ebay so its not that bad but you can just clean it ghetto too with
Isopropyl alcohol which you cant really find over the counter in the UK
.

Really wow, i used to always buy it from the chemist thats going back some years now. Although the stuff i used to get had a very faint purplish colour to it ( used to be great for tape heads an such).

MX-3 is awful. Very hard to spread, too thick. I have been reverting back to the older MX-2 time and time again.

If this is thick stuff, then i'd rather leave it.

Then I must have gotten badly mixed MX-3. Mine was the same consistency of MX-2. :wtf:
