Prolimatech PK-3 conductivity

[abdullah_mag]

I plan on purchasing 1.5gm tube of it, but i am mainly looking for a non conductive/capacitive thermal compound because i'm a newbie, however it contains "nano aluminum" which afaik is a metal and does conduct electricity, yet on its decription it says that it is non conductive.

So what's the deal here??, is it or is it not electrically conductive/capacitive??, and will it corrode either aluminum or copper heatsinks?

anybody?

It's safe to use. If applied properly it shouldn't spill out all over the motherboard around the socket, if it is you're using far too much product. It does in fact state non conductive. It's not pure metal, it has forms of metal in it. An electrical wire is pure metal inside and will shock yet a thin coating of insulating plastic around it means you can grasp it and not be shocked.

It won't corrode anything, what causes corrosion with aluminum and copper is a concern in water cooling where the water passing through the dissimilar metals can cause corrosion. I've yet to see a cpu cooler base or cpu heat spreader corroded because of thermal grease/paste including as5 and others.
