I am lookin at this tube of arctic silver two and superglue and scotch tape and im like hmmm........ so my question is will arctic silver 2 be enough to unlock my XP? i was just thinkin cause it says silver and ya know.
 
I would say no. It's probably not conductive enough for the job and it would be hard to get the traces from not touching. I haven't heard anyone being successful with it. I thought the same thing but am too chicken to try it. I don't want to fry it. I will try to get a conductive pen soon though and try that.
 
AS2

I'd think if it smeared or connected multiple bridges, it'd be really hard to clean off completely. I also would think it's not gonna be conductive enough... probably would have too much resistance.
 
thank you all, i was just wonderin, i hate my psus, i need 1 good one when i get $$
 
ASII is not really conductive, it can be capacitive under high pressure but that's about it. I have made a couple of huge messes with the stuff on a couple of procs and they have never "shorted" or anything. I would just get a defogger repair kit or a silver pen.
