just bought a new tube of AS5 and when i squeezed some out it was runny, watery. i put it on my gpu and the max temps were 50C. my gpu is a 760 and its cooled by an h90..... which is absurd, i get better temps the TF cooling. is there something wrong with the paste? did it separate? if it did how do i re-mix it?

that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, you are the customer, they sold a faulty product, make a complaint about it, don't say you want to return it, say it was faulty and demand a refund.
