Found a thread ranking thermal conductivities for TIM's.

Link. (Scroll down.)

It lists a couple graphite based products just above Arctic Silver. (Don't know which flavor of AS though.)

I'd be a bit concerned that graphite lube might have substantial electrical conductivity. Could be a real pain if you got it in the wrong place. I'd poke an Ohmeter into a glob of it.
