Yes this is sort of true of Arctic Silver 5 and other metal containing
thermal pastes and greases - though it's capacitive rather than conductive
so it can build up an electrical charge and bridge contacts - their latest
Ceramique paste is neither conductive nor capacitive - and runs cooler
allegedly - you don't get much for your money with either though so you're
hardly likely to use a plasterers trowel for an applicator.
