IC Diamond 7 Carat, CPU Thermal Paste-Grease-Compound.

IC Diamond 7 Carat High Performance/Quality Thermal Compound maximizes thermal heat transfer between the CPU core/s and Heatsink by taking advantage of diamond's superior thermal conductivity.

Leading to LOWER CPU TEMPS a more stable system and higher overclock if required.

Available in Australia from an authorised distributor.       

IC Diamond 7 Thermal Paste will help lower your CPU temps substantially and help your system run with more stability and reliability, and help give your precious CPU a longer more productive life.  IC Diamond 7 also works and has performed extremely well on GPU's and other devices requiring Thermal Compounds like the Xbox etc.

This syringe contains 1.5 grams of compound. However, this cannot be compared to Silver based compounds as they have different densities. A 1.5 gram tube of ICD 7 is about the same in quantity/volume as a 3.5 gram tube of Silver based compounds (such as AS5).

Perfect for use in all systems, and ideally suited for overclocked and high end systems where stability and reliability are paramount. The very high particle loading with over 92% micronized diamond particles prevents pump out and bake out you get with a lightly loaded liquid type compound grease. Bake out and pump out are well known and documented as primary causes of grease failure. Lightly loaded liquid type compound greases break down more quickly and can cause system failure and poor performance. You can see the results of this in tests done and more information about this at the website below.

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 CPU's and GPU's and is electrically non-conductive and non-capacitive.

Key Features

  * Each tube of IC Diamond Thermal grease contains 7 carats of micronized diamond with diamond particle loadings @ 92% by weight. Material loading above 90% is recommended  as the best combination of rheological and thermal properties to minimize interface pump out due to thermal cycling.
  * Superior bulk conductivity.
  * Excellent thermal impedance.
  * Tight particle distributions.
  * < 40 µ maximum particle diameter.
  * Silicone free:   To prevent copper oxidization.
  * Lower viscosity:  To prevent pump out due to thermal cycling and breakdown leading to poor results.
  * Greater stability
  ***** Non capacitive or electrically conductive. Be very careful with metal based or capacitive or conductive TIM's as these can easily destroy your system. They are not worth the risk.****
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.

Independent users in a number of different Computer forums used their own PCs in real world tests and see a big improvement between IC Diamond and other thermal compounds. This independent testing shows substantial performance improvements, stability and reduction in CPU temperatures over other thermal compounds.

Users experiencing improvements with ICD7 comment favorably:

• "8ºC drop at load, this is incredible."
• "I have a 7ºC drop in temps using this stuff. Fantastic!!!"
• "I must say from what I've seen so far I'm sold and this stuff is easier to clean up than normal silver based thermal paste."
• "Pretty nice gain! Not much change at idle but who cares, saving 3.1C at load is nice considering that most of us, including myself, have spent hundreds over the years to accomplish less."
• "Overall temp drop from ASC to IC7 was pretty impressive. I didn't expect extremely high temps considering my CPU isn't exactly highly overclocked. It's even more impressive considering that I'm not producing that much heat and yet I'm still able to see a difference in temps."
• "ICD7 Dropped temps by 2.5ºC over MX-2 I'm impressed...................I'll be using ICD7 in the future."
• "So at idle there was a 3 degree drop from AS5 and under load, 8C less than AS5!!!   IC7D is my new TIM."
• "That's a average 3.5C decrease across the cores from what I thought was a very respectable temp. I'm sold."
• I am impressed I always used MX-2 because I thought it was the best but for now on I will only use Innovative Cooling Diamond 7 carat
• Lowered my temps on my spare system (e2180) from 36-37C (idle) to 29-30C (idle) this is amazing stuff...and thats not even set it in yet and the arctic silver was there for months.
• So with that I am getting around -7c difference with the IC Diamond compare with AS5....
• Bottom Line
  The IC Diamond stuff really did some wonders. Brought load temps down 10C and idle temps down 11C, . That's the best stuff that I've tested so far. Fantastic.

 Some of the comments about ICD7 made by  Overclockers Australia Forum Members :

• "A 6-8 degree drop in load temperatures across the board was observed."
• "Yeh that's right! A 17 degree drop! I am extremely happy with this paste."
• "I would highly recommend this product. It works fantasticly and has pushed my system forward into a new level of stability."
• "Conclusion  the ICD7 has improved the idle temps dramatically. I'm am impressed with the results."
• "Well, it appears that IC7 is in fact a few degree's better than the AS5, at least for me."  
• "While the other TIM results are expected, the IC7 results surprised me. I was not expecting such a good result over AS5."  
•  "When I first tried it it took me a couple of mounts to get it right and now I have improved temps by about 3°C - 4°C over my previous best TIM's including Ceramique, AS5, MX-2 and others."   
• "Zalman grease. 22.C ambient -Load 85-85, ICD7. 24.C ambient -Load 70 – 70, A very solid reduction in temperature if I ever saw one. This is the lowest I've ever seen with my CPU under these conditions. I believe the IC Diamond 7 thermal compound is a great product that I would recommend to anyone looking for a high performance thermal compound product."

• ·  "I just applied ICD7 onto my 8800GT. Improvement of 1 degree in idle temps and 6 degrees in load temps."

• ·  Also, the difference between ICD7 and AS5 is staggering, 4°C under load for both cores and 2°C and 1°C respectively when idle. I would certainly recommend this product to anyone looking to drop a few °C.

Overclockers Australia Forum members using IC DIAMOND show an average drop in CPU temps of -3.72°C over other well known brand name Thermal Compounds in real world tests.

IC Diamond  has been consistently outperforming the better known Thermal Compounds like Arctic Silver 5 in recent reviews and real world tests.

Buy this now, improve your CPU and system temps, help protect your CPU from overheating, get more out of and extend the life of your CPU, and improve system stability and efficiency in CPU intensive tasks like gaming and video editing and encoding. You won't be disappointed.

Don't waste your money on cheap and generic thermal compounds as they pump out and bake out in a very short time, need to be reapplied regularly and end up costing you more for performance that leaves a lot to be desired at best, often with CPU temps 5-10°C or  more higher than with IC Diamond.

X-bit Labs and other recent reviews shows IC Diamond as the leading Thermal Compound in CPU cooling.
