The stuff that comes with NV5

[Mrvile]

Is it the Ceramique stuff? I have a little extra AS5 lying around that I will use on the core but for the ram I know that I should use Ceramique to prevent frying the board. But I don't wanna have to order a tube for 5 bucks then pay another 5 for shipping and handling (BB and CompUSA don't have it) so...

I think Ceramique is probably better (has some ceramic content). The regular stuff that comes with NV5 silencer is just silicone.

Will silicone kill my card if it leaks over the edge?

No it won't. I used Arctic Alumina (AS's 'cheap' paste) on the core and the Arctic Cooling Silicone paste on the RAM when I installed my Silencer. Put a little more than you think you'd need on the core and a nice big dab on each RAM chip but not so much that it oozes out everywhere.
