Toothpaste works in a pinch
Edit: LOL, the downvotes. I was obviously joking about the toothpaste. Everyone knows yoghurt works better.
Edit: see comment below, that person knows their shit.

If you have a Best Buy they sell paste.
Or a mom and pop computer store… these are becoming rare.
Or a nerdy friend.
Or a school that teaches pc repair.

I have some Corsair TM30 pastes that’s lasted me a few years now from the original build to a reapply earlier this year and this past week when I upgraded my cpu it’s a little tube that’s been more than enough.

I just use PGS as a TIM now. No mess, no fuss, completely reusable.

You sure it isn’t dry on the cooler plate side?
Ah well, goes to show how sturdy PC components are.

Scrape it off, dilute with wodka or ethanol, reapply.
Not saying it is good practice, but i clean thermal past of with ethanol. It makes it all soft and gooey. Extremely easy to clean.

Just go to your kitchen and grab some mayonnaise and spread it Nd seal it Works better than thermal paste believe me!

This might sound stupid, but our pc’s are really similar, LOL
Got the same board as you and if it matters to you, you might wanna use the top nvme slot to get the full pcie x16 lanes because right now you are running in pcie x8. Just a suggestion you’ll gain like 2-3fps, which isn’t much but hey performance is performance.
