My Mac Pro won't be here until next week :( It's a damn good thing I searched around for this (thinking maybe they'd used the same thermal paste as the MacBooks) cause that was the first thing I was going to check when I recieve it. I'm not going anywhere near the heat sinks on that.

The question is, why would you do that in the first place?

Personally I'd just put the sinks back on as is and forget about it, I've done that a bunch of times, there's no real need to reapply the thermal paste unless you're changing a part it'll make a difference of like less than half a degree.
