I saw this a while back, and wanted to try it, but could never find all the ingrediants. I think that the thermal compunds out for the general public have a much lower diamond powder content, making the difference a lot smaller, and costing a lot less.
Well this is interesting to say the least. I don't think we can call BS so easily, at least not without testing it yourself. I may look into to acquiring said goods, if I do I'll be sure to post me results.
If anyone else takes the time, please post results.
You'd think if this was possible the big guys would already be doing it.
Well this could work. " Silver has a respectable thermal conductivity at: 429W/m K. Diamond on the other hand has a thermal conductivity of 900-2320 W/m K. So worst case scenario we double performance, and best case is roughly a 5x multiplier"
That's science, hard to say no to that.
I definitely want to try this. If it works my temps would be rediculous.
Tests are done with a Pentium D (3Ghz) overclocked to 3.4 Ghz
I think that is some BS. I am using IC7 and and I have had a drop of about 3-4C over MX-2 and when I went from AS5 to IC7 I saw a nearly a 5-7C! 16C is just crap
My only guess is ic7 is pretty damn cheap, they probably use not so pure diamond dust to make it as cheap as possible which would reduce performance.
