thermal paste issue

[cfrozer]

is my thermal paste bad? it keeps drying up( in the center)  and having to replace it every other day (almost out) the tube i got was Thermaltake TG-7, my cooler the the corsair h80iv2, I've re-seated and re-seated the cooler a thousand times, so there is no air, the cpu temps are normal untill they are not any reason why? or just a bad paste

This paste is bad because it likes to dry up and spike the CPU temps. Consider finding yourself a different paste.

"The temps are normal until they are not", what does that even mean?

 

Thermal paste can get dry, why are you removing the cooler and checking every day? That brings up a host of its own problems. Apply it once, and leave it unless temperatures start getting uncomfortably high. Reseating the cooler over and over will add air bubbles you know.

the temps are normal like 28c 22c per core then the spike up to 68-72c per core wile idle and i don't like that

Bad cooler? Maybe you don't know how to apply paste effectively? Get new thermal paste?

then it sounds like the cooler is barely attached, it should be mounted down very firmly, you shouldn't be able to move/twist it.

Well, no. If you keep re-seating it, there definitely is air now than before.
