Yes as it acts as an insulator. The idea of thermal

Actually the thermal paste is non-conductive.

Eh?


You thought he meant thermally, we realised he meant
electrically.

I realised he could have meant either, so asked for
elaboration. Actually some thermal compund is electrically
conductive too,

Which one?

Any of the stuff that's filled with metallic particles is potentially
electrically conductive.

Especially since silver is one of the best electrical conductors there is..
