It depends on the CPU, heatsink, and GPU you're using. Some thermal pastes work well with all types, while others are better suited for specific components. Always check the manufacturer's recommendations.

Any suitable brand thermal goo can be mixed with various combinations, except liquid metal should never pair with aluminium components. EDIT: It seems cheap eBay listings might not be safe for CPUs or similar parts.

I find it hard to ask what you're planning to do.

Swapping the thermal paste on another machine is quite basic, but it tends to be quite outdated and straightforward.

It's fine, as said before - only liquid metal is "incompatible" with aluminium.
