You should never use Arctic Silver, it is old technology and it is capacitative, unlike other more modern thermal compounds.
I am not too big on using this stuff anywhere but on a flat cpu and gpu heat sinks, the paste I use on caps to bond a small heat sink but.....don't believe for a second its not conductive, it wont carry a signal like you want, but it is a conductor mixed with a semi conductor and makes a capacitor. I have never blew up a cpu by getting in areas it should no be, but have heard of it.
think about it its nano silver mixed with nano silicone, and make a bunch of little nano capacitors. should be fine unless the diode is super sensitive and they are:crackup:
ok I have been using it religiously on all my rigs and have never had a problem northbridge southbridge VR's gpu cpu. Maybe it's time to change...
used it on the rig in my pics.
Thanks for the kind words. I did not provide a link only a description. Look on YouTube for the vid.I loved your magnetic build...
