 |  Re: Thermal Paste Supplement most good thermal paste will conduct electricity along with heat. so you just have be careful of the overflow. I would still replace it with the right stuff but its prolly safe to use what you got until the other stuff comes in.

  | Re: Thermal Paste Supplement Uh no, most good thermal pastes do not conduct electricity. MX-2 and TX-2, arguably the top two pastes, do not conduct..

| Re: Thermal Paste Supplement Uh, I don't understand what you are trying to say, in tests, MX and TX have both been shown to conduct better than AS5. Therefore they provide lower temperatures at a lower price.

| Re: Thermal Paste Supplement it will not explode. Attic silver is what I use just because of the large stash of it that I have. It is good and conductive. As long as none of it is on your Mobo you're fine.
