Anandtech, Hardware Logic, Xtremesystems, AMDZone, and OCForums - Users post their performance improvements showing an average 3ºC compared to other thermal compounds. Hardware Logic tests 24 thermal compunds and ranks IC Diamond as the best of all tested. AMDZone IC Diamond 7 Carat Thermal Compound Review AMDZone IC Diamond 7 Carat Thermal Compound Review: "...when maxed out the IC Diamond drops five degrees over the Arctic Silver 5." FrazPC.pl - in Polish but the chart below says it all. "In comparision to traditional pastes, Diamond 7 is a performance leader..." 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. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

"Our today's hero - IC Diamond 7 Carat - is definitely a successful product. Temperatures measured during test are a little worse than temperatures achieved by Liquid Pro, but the aplication of the product is much simpler, as is the paste removal in case of a change in heatsinks. In comparision to traditional pastes, Diamond 7 is a performance leader..."
