*Sorry for the poor quality of the images. I cant find my digicam and had to use my webcam*

NOTE: Tests are carried out on a piece of non-conductive heatsink!

Here are the results:
2B: Non-conductive (No value changes on multimeter)
4B: Non-conductive (No value changes on multimeter)
Arctic Silver 3: Non-conductive/Conductive
CurcuitWorks Silver Conductive Paste: Conductive

2B: Non-conductive even under extreme circumstances. Probably due to the way it sticks on to the heatsink.

4B: Non-conductive even under extreme circumstances. Probably due to the way it sticks on to the heatsink.

Arctic Silver 3: Non-conductive when under normal testing circumstances. Conductive, with a resistance value of 1, which is the least my multimeter can detect, under extreme close distance of the 2 probes, with a distance of <0.1mm. I wonder if it is conductive between the heatsink/waterblock as the heatsinks/waterblocks are usually stuck with high pressure to the CPU die.

CurcuitWorks Silver Conductive Paste: Conductive, with the resistance level of 1. Excellent paste for bridging the bridges in the AMD CPUs as it is quite easy to apply, and hardens over time for a good connection.

Any comments on this? All experiments are done in dreamie Laboratory

NO animals were harmed when the experiment was taking place, except maybe for my neightbour's d-og??
