Artic Silver 5 really non-Conductive?

Right so new cpu time and I have purchased a tube of Artic Silver 5, which I have never used before. I note it is sold as not Electrically Conductive
but that it is slightly capacitive. Does anyone know how 'slightly capacitive' it is. The website is not a lot of use.

 

What it means from what i have gatherd is; that it does not actively conduct electric. Like water for example. But it can charge with electric around it and make static. Like a balloon.

But as it is slightly capacitive and a thermal paste made for compters i would not worry.

I hoe this puts your mind at ease

Certainly does. I had wondered if it was something along these lines. I am a bit wary about high silver thermal compounds after a previous one did for one of my prior cpu's. Cheers UKARMYCADET

 

Well my computer ha varry little thermal paste and it works fine so just be spareingly when you come to apply it.

cya again mate.

 

yeah I was a little over enthusiastic with the silver compound, and kaplow one dead cpu. Nothing seeped on the board, I think it might have seeped into the cpu through the number one pin hole on the back (cant remember its name now) though this is a wild guess. I had always used a non metallic compound before and so no such problems. I am using comparatively high end (for me) machines nowerdays and I labour under the belief that the metallic compounds give a better long term performance than Arctic ceramic, etc.
