Arctic Silver V is not conductive of electricity. Although when near electric terminals it can potentially cause problems due to capacitance. But chances are real low IMO.

a little dash of AS V was lying in the mobo when I poorly pasted last time. Laptop is still running.

Yeah that's it. But you ought to be careful though

I got MX-2 yesterday , and spent almost 2hrs , from my extremely busy schedule and took the liberty of opening the laptop despite of prevailing warranty on it , most probably voiding it.
The previous TIM ( stock) was applied too badly and felt like el-cheapo paste. Dried up as well.
Cleaned it with alcohol ( I used Axe After-Shave lotion.It's alcohol. ) .
Now , re-applied quite a decent amount of TIM over the GPU and CPU , and also spread evenly.
Re-sealed the stuff , and now waiting for effects to get in place.
Within 5mins, itself , I can feel the difference. The laptop is running way too cooler. Not sure , if it;s because I cleaned up the laptop's fan and dust , or whether it's the TIM.
Will report back after a week of usage with stress testing.
Update : It has not even crossed 60C yet , on any cores , despite of moderate to high end usage. 25W.
Given that it's running on top of laptop cooler. ( It also seems to have improved cooler's efficiency as well.)

What would be an appropriate idle temperature for an i3 2100 considering the heat of Rajasthan?

Mine idles at 47. Today it's at 45-46 as there was rain at night. Need to do something.

So 47-50 for haswell (i5 4670) is OK temperature at idle?

and you use artic silver 5 , right? if yes, it should be even lower. adjust fan profile in bios.

YEah I use AS5. CPU fan is set to 100% from BIOS. It revs between 2300 and 2600 RPM. Will reset the heat sink and re-apply the paste.

Witcher 2 stretches it to 77 79. Just after application of AS V it reached 81. But now typically it hovers at 79.

Isn't 2300-2600 RMP too low at 100% speed even for a stock cooler?
Guys, Can you please post some links to buy Thermal Paste Online preferably 750 Rs or lower ? Also something to remove the existing one ?
I can't find anything on Flipkart , also can't find the ones mentioned above on Snapdeal.
My CPU is running idle at 60C on stock cooler (no OC) & refuses to play games. Will re-applying Thermal Paste fix it or do I need a different cooler ?
CPU - i5 2500
MoBo - Asus P8z68 V Pro
Case - Cooler Master Elite 310
Should I buy this from here?
Deepcool Z9 Thermal Paste 3.0g price in india Rs.590. Buy Deepcool Z9 Thermal Paste 3.0g online : Theitdepot.com
I read about 99% isopropyl alcohol to clean the old stuff , what is that & where can you buy that from ?
