Is the Carbice Ice Pad electrically conductive?

The contact surfaces of the Ice Pad are covered by a nanoscale polymer coating, which makes them electrically non-conductive before use. The coating, however, does not cover the aluminum backbone at the edges of the pad, so the edges are electrically conductive. During use, the coating liquifies and may partially expose the electrically conductive carbon nanotubes. Once the Carbice Ice Pad is assembled between your CPU and heatsink, there’s no ability for the conductive parts to migrate outside the interface to electrically sensitive parts. We do recommend powering off your computer during installation and removal.
