anyone bothered to check some AS5 for conductivity with a DMM?

Don't be afraid to use AS 5. I used it after lapping my new SLK-947-U 
If you read the directions carefully, you only need a small amount: a slight haze on cpu die with lapped hs, or a paper thick size coating without lap. I used paper thickness. It works and is the best thermal paste in the market. It is conductive but like anythink else, you don't want ANYTHING (conductive or not) touching them bridges and diodes. Knowing some of you, you probably went overboard on the amount of paste....because the more the better cooling you get right? Wrong!
