One of the issues that brought Arctic Silver 5 out of favor with
overclockers is it's ability to conduct electricity; sloppy
application can result in shorts to the chips being cooled. Ceramique
by Arctic Silver became the go-to choice for many as it was not
conductive. Ceramique took longer to cure and became increasingly
conductive as it cured, there is now a Ceramique 2. Hopefully groups
such as we are, are not sloppy with applications.
Here's a search in Newegg which gives the more favored thermal
compounds listed. There's a decent spec sheet with each and plenty of
comments to read through.

Here's a shorter URL to it:

I have both the Arctic 5 and Ceramique, both seem to work equally
well and far better than the older thermal pastes I've used.
