IC Diamond 7 Carat Thermal Compound maximizes thermal heat transfer between the CPU core and heatsink by taking advantage of diamond's superior thermal conductivity

Purified synthetic diamond has a thermal conductivity of 2,000-2,500 W/mK compared to 406-429 W/mK for pure silver.

Diamond's five times better thermal conductivity compared to silver makes it a superior heat transfer material for cooling high performance CPUs and is electrically non-conductive and non-capacitive.

Application: IC Diamond is composed mostly of diamond powder, and as such is quite thick. Proper application is critical to optimum performance. Squeeze onto the center of the CPU an amount of IC Diamond compound about the size of a pea - the center of the CPU is where most heat is concentrated. Place the heatsink on the CPU and push down to spread IC Diamond over the CPU's surface. Clamp the heatsink and power up the PC.

Curing Time: IC Diamond requires minimal time to attain peak performance; in most cases, IC Diamond will reach peak performance after two hours of use.

Stability: IC Diamond is designed for stability - it will not bleed or separate in normal use.

• Superior bulk conductivity
• Excellent thermal impedance
• Tight particle distributions
• < 40 µ maximum particle diameter
• Silicone free
• Lower viscosity
• Greater stability
• Non capacitive or electrically conductive

Thermal Conductance:	4.5 W/m-K (data acquired with an ASTM D - 5470 thermal interface test instrument)
Thermal Resistance:	0.25oC-cm2/W@ 100 µ BLT
Average Particle Size:	<40 µ maximum particle diameter
Compliancy:	RoHS Compliant.

Just put some of this on my AMD 955BE and I am loving it compared to Arctic Silver 5. My temps are down about 2C. At stock I was idling at 27C and load 34C. I bumped up my multiplier to just 3.6Ghz and now I idle at 31C and load is at 44C. Also when applying I used the instructions on the Innovation Cooling website. Worked like a charm. Some people say you have to heat it up in a cup of hot water first but I didnt and it was still easy to apply. I let it sit for 10min before applying my H50 Corsair. Anyways, if you have doubts, dont. Buy it now and thank me later

i7 920 oc @ 4GHZ 60c LOAD lynx Now before i got this i had AS 5 and loads would hit 86c+, im very impressed!!! Current idle= 33c AS5 idle was= 44c BUY BUY BUY!!!! Im smiling right now!!!!

I actually bought the 4.8g tube, but it won''t let me place a review there. . . Regardless, simply replacing the TIM on the stock heatsink that comes with a retail i7 920 with this wonderful diamond compound dropped my temps by approx. 10 degrees Celsius. Amazingly efficient, and easy to recommend to anyone else out there.

For all my applications, this compound lowered temperatures by 8 to 12 degrees (10 degrees being the average) further than any other compound used. It does require that the tube be heated in hot water for 5-7 minutes then you are able to apply the compound. The big plus is even if you use too much (hard to do), the compound is non-conductive.

IC Diamond is the best thermal paste ive used. With my lapped TRUE and lapped q6600, achieved lower temps than mx-2, ac5, oc freeze, tm 0098 and zalman super grease. Im the kind of person who wants the best performance, from my testing, this is the best.
