? not even.. ----thats adding insult to injury offering me $5.. i could set up a fundraiser so people pay 25 cents admission to see me to horrible nasty things to it.. hmm not a bad idea

*LOL*

yeah

or just sit on the street and beg for 2 hours then u have 5

Woah man that must suck

Question: Is the Artic Silver compound conductive?

it can be...

the thermal adhesive can be

heres a quote from their application instructions

Even though Arctic Silver Thermal Adhesive is specifically engineered for high electrical resistance, you should keep it away from processor, memory, and motherboard traces, pins and leads. The cured adhesive is slightly capacitive and can cause problems if it bridges two close-proximity electrical paths.

and here is just for the Arctic Silver 3

Negligible electrical conductivity.
Arctic Silver 3 was formulated to conduct heat, not electricity. It is only electrically conductive in a thin layer under extreme compression.
(While much safer than electrically conductive silver and copper greases, Arctic Silver 3 should be kept away from electrical traces, pins, and leads. The compound is slightly capacitive and could potentially cause problems if it bridged two close-proximity electrical paths.)

I can't believe you're going to trash it, without making a serious attempt to save it.
Douche it well with goof-off, then soak, rinse and repeat several times with Isopropyl, then dry well (hair dryer, or low oven (150º or less for a few hours)) NOT THE MICROWAVE!!

bake the whole card???
