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.
Good link!



I think I'd also stick to lapping, with that diamond stuff.
