I am afraid that the thermal paste I used to repaste my desktop and laptop CPUs is electrically conductive and that it could come into contact with the board and cause problems...

The thermal paste came with my Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU cooler:

I repasted both my Laptop and desktop CPUs a while back and I have had no problems so far. Is this thermal paste electrically conductive ? Should I worry about it ?
 
Solution
Likely not. Pretty rare these days to have a conductive thermal compound included with things. Cooler Master doesn't specify though.
