No. Differential thermal expansion of the CPU package and the HS lead to the TIM being slowly pumped out of the contact patch, or at least, the more aqueous portion being pumped out leaving the solids behind. This can be most easily seen in GPUs which use 'white paste' and when you clean and remount it after a year or two, all you see is a dry hard white compound between the GPU and the HS.

over time it does get hard.

I cant tell you for sure how much of a pump out it would have.

Lately the only time i put tim on is ontop of a IHS.
