The Incredible Non-Conductivity of AS5. Final Proven Edition. (Take note naysayers)

I said above that I would go home and stick use my multimeter to test the resistance (conductivity) of AS5. So here I am, with photos.


My fab Walmart multimeter showing infinite resistance (=1) (zero conductivity) cuz the wires aren't touching anything.


My fantastic printer paper laboratory. On the left, a 1U copper server heatsink. On the right, on top we have OCZ Ultra 5+ silver paste and on bottom we have the one and only Arctic Silver 5. The little silver spots are my samples of each, in the same order.


Here I am proving that copper does, in fact, conduct electricity. The 0.02 reading shows a very, very low resistance in this mode. The little beast is chirping, telling me it's got a connection on that heatsink.


And first up is the cheaper OCZ Ultra5+ I bought for lesser CPUs, lol. Zero conductivity there. Showing 1, meaning for all intents and purposes, infinite resistance.


And, Le Grande Finale! AS5 has infinite resistance too!!!! That means it doesn't conduct! Just like it says on the product documentation, believe it or not! Wow!

It was a pain to hold the cam and shoot the pics. I am an incapable baffoon with chopsticks, so that probably didn't help.
