Is it very watery maybe? Is it old? Where did you get it from?

It's supposed to be a more solid consistency. Got a picture? You may have just gotten a bad tube or a poorly mixed one.

Thermal paste should be a homogenous mixture and not separate at all, unless the tube is really old, a screwup at the factory, or its not a real tube.

might be, i have only been using Mx2 and MX4 and my AiO hasnt had a thermal paste change since i bought it over 3 years ago and temps are still good. I assume he might have gotten a bad Lot or old Lot

That's odd. Has the tube been stored in a car or anywhere where it is not climate controlled(garage/attic/tool shed)?
