it would have negative affect on your cpu, it would change the structure of the paste. Chemicals have a certain range of temperature. Look at the MSDS sheet for its storage temprature.

This may seem like a dumb question for a few of you guys but is it bad to put thermal paste into a fridge to cool it and use it when your ready for a new build. Would it have any different effect on the CPU heatsink or the CPU itself. I'm very curious about this topic.

No, I don't think so. The CPU is just going to get hot immediately and heat up the paste.

It'd be about as effective as freezing boiled water for later.

actually not a bad idea, fridge is ~4C and its  has low humidity inside.

temp wise is absolutely fine consider cpu temps range, but advantage over a normal room condition....? too immaterial 

so  only consider if your storage condition is extremely poor
