Hi guys,
In our testing the type of thermal paste does not make a difference if the surfaces are really smooth (16 µin or better surface). Where it makes a difference is in rougher surfaces. And Brian is right, more is not better.
For electrical isolation we have switch from a thixotropic phase change material (Isostrate) to T-gard with great results.
Just my 2 ¢
Phil

It depends.... on its composition. If it's grey, it may rely on fine metallic powder. I have some Thermaltake TG2 which the makers claim has low electrical conductivity but I suspect it may have metal in it. I use it for CPUs to radiators, so its electrical characteristics are unimportant. Consult the manufacturer's data. BTW, don't put on an excess; if it squeezes out, you're wasting a costly product :(
