Actually there is an even better non-conductive thermal paste (not liquid metal) than "Grizzly" --- it is called " Gelid GC-Extreme ". Here is a comparison from one review website that I screenshotted - https://s4.postimg.org/qvp326pjx/Thermal_Grease.png . The difference between them is not big, but I think in your case every degree counts. Also, there is a packaging of Gelid GC-Extreme that is 10g - http://gelidsolutions.com/thermal-solutions/thermal-compound-gc-extreme-10g/ , this larger packaging gives a very affordable price per 1g and will last for a long time ;)
