- astrodust 8y agoHere's a typical warning from a manufacturer: http://www.arcticsilver.com/as5.htm http://www.arcticsilver.com/as5.htm > 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.
