Arctic Silver 5 Does Not Conduct (w/photos)

[swaaye]

ok so this proves what

oh for god's sake.

Its not conductive but it is capacitive in nature, IMO even more so at very high frequencies.

If it's this non-conductive, the capacitive tendency of it is probably so miniscule it is unlikely to do jack. I've read that under extreme pressure the stuff can become more conductive I believe. But, the only time it's under pressure is between the heatsink and the core, not around caps or whatever. So honestly I'd consider this stuff completely safe around electronics.
