Hello

Can I ask, I am transporting my PC by post, my Thermal Paste has been on for over 80 hours, it will be in a cold environment, 4-8c, could even reach -2c, do you know if the Thermal Paste will be fine to use after the transportation or would I need to reapply it due to being too cold

It is MX2 Thermal Paste, it is on both GPU and CPU

Thanks

It's fine :P How else would sub zero coolers work?

I was not sure if they had to use special Thermal Paste for LN2

Also I was not sure if the conditions change once the Thermal Paste has cured

Normal working limits are -50 ish to +140 ish so -2 should not be a problem.
