    Sorry for OT:

    If you follow the link and look under the heading "Not Electrically Conductive:"
    You will find this:
    Arctic Silver 5 was formulated to conduct heat, not electricity.
    (While much safer than electrically conductive silver and copper greases, Arctic Silver 5 should be kept away from electrical traces, pins, and leads. While it is not electrically conductive, the compound is very slightly capacitive and could potentially cause problems if it bridges two close-proximity electrical paths.)
    Quoted from the Arcticsilver website.

    I wonder what that gray fluffy stuff is.
