+1 year old thermal paste?

[Techicolors]

So i still have the arctic cooler 5 thermal paste from when i rebuilt my PC, but that was more than a year ago. now i've swapped the old CPU cooler with a new one (nh-u14s), and thinking of reusing the arctic cooler 5 paste. is it still ok to use it? i've stored it in a drawer at around 30c ambient

most thermal paste will last about 5 years

1 year is nothing. id say 4+ is even okay too a point
