Abstract
► We numerically simulate planetary dynamos with conducting and insulating inner cores. ► Inner core conductivity influences field morphology and reversal frequencies. ► Combinations of thermal boundaries and Rayleigh number determine the influence. ► Strong planetary magnetic field intensity does not imply strong field dynamo.
