I'm using Artic MX-2 thermal compound. Its very good but be aware, because is a little capacitive, dont touch the capacitors near de CPU.
I use MX-2 in my PCs and Macs (using a 30gram tube atm :p ).Arctic Cooling advertise it as non-electrically conductive and non-capacitive. And with no cure time(both advertised and observed by usage) those are key selling points for it over Arctic Silver 5.

Do you have personal experience with it's capacitance or if not, where was this test done? I would like to read it. Not that I have a problem with spilling it everywhere, I just would like to know if I might have potential for issues when using it with CPUs without integrated heat spreaders.
