Innovation Cooling's Diamond 7 TIM test results

[Emerica]

my room stays about 80f and my G0 is running only 50c at 3.0 9x multiplier. why are you running 8x multiplier?

Why not? Mainly because I want to run my CPU FSB 1:1 with my RAM.

I was just wondering if that made a difference or not! I am not very good at OC'ing I under stand what is happening but I don't get into it that much.

Likewise. I want 3.6ghz out of this chip but I don't think it is going to happen.

not with that much heat! you should go water.

[Emerica]

not with that much heat! you should go water.

When I was trying for 3.6 with 1.45V (super vdroop on this board so it wasn't actually 1.45) My highest temp was 61 and I would be safe, in my mind, to go up to 65.

In update to my previous post earlier today...well, I guess yesterday since its now past midnight here. but my load temps haven't changed. I may pull my heatsink off and redo the mount applying a slightly larger blob. wish this shin etsu had more in the syringe

My vdroop is sooo bad, that I have to set 1.537 in the bios for 1.456v 100% loaded in windows.

Emerica, sounds like weak mounting pressure for me. Infinity's mounting systems is total crap. Try mounting it with screws and a backplate, you should see much improvement. All you need is four 3mm thick 40mm long screws, some washers and a piece of metal for the backplate, and benefits are really big.

Please give your Shin Etsu mount, as you have it, more time. I have some new stuff, Shin and D7coming inbound too. I've got a strong hunch D7 and Shin Etsu both have much longer set times than AS5, etc.....I will be posting data to this effect soon......Trust me, don't pull it yet.....So far, I believe in the D7, but being scientific, we have to know, longer term, what happens.....

Well said, give it a week and then compare.

I am using screws right now with no back plate. If I could find a TRUE backplate somewhere, maybe that would fit.

[64dragon]

thanks Bob and Sig, i'll keep it on there and see what happens. can't believe i'm saying this but I wish the weather staid colder for another week or so, it been in the 60-70F's causing the ambient to go up in my room. seems AC cant keep up cause my room is 2F warmer than the rest of the house

[KaptainBlaZzed]

All i have to say is WOW, this is some good TIM.

Rig:
Q6600 GO @ 3.7GHz
CPU-Z vcore: 1.44V, set at 1.4625V in BIOS
ASUS P5K Premium
Ambient Temp: ~22C
about 15 minutes between tests @ 100% load


Original TIM AS5, ~6 months old. I used the grain of rice in the center method with AS5.
I forgot to check the idle temps with the AS5, so i only have load temps.

Load
Core 0: 68 c
Core 1: 68 c
Core 2: 66 c
Core 3: 66 c

ICD, pea size blob, twisted a few degrees to each side during application.
Load
Core 0: 63 c
Core 1: 63 c
Core 2: 62 c
Core 3: 62 c

That is a 4C to 5C drop in load temps. This stuff gets my vote.

[Martijn]

From my original temperatures of 63-62-62-63, I am now down to 62-60-60-61. I think I have got this stuff installed for about a week now. Ambients were the same.

Wow, thanks! Does anyone know if this will fit a Scythe Infinity?

[G.Foyle]

TRUE backplate has small threaded holes, smaller than 4mm. Normal 4mm bolts won't fit, and 3mm will be unusable. I think it may be easier to fabricate a backplate; an engraver (is that a proper word?) made me one for my dice pot for 10zł (~5$).

Are you saying that I will not be able to mouny my Infinity with that? Right now I have no back plate with screws so the motherboard bends a little, which means I really need a back plate.

Final Results: One week cure time.

Ambient = 23.27c


For me it performed no better, actually a little worse than MX-2 with approx. the exact pressure applied. Possibly a convex blocks effects its performance?

Idle:
Core 0: 34
Core 1: 34
Core 2: 32
Core 3: 32


Load:
Core 0: 44
Core 1: 44
Core 2: 44
Core 3: 43

You've got a lot of room for more OCing with those temps Sig. Why don't you try to push your chip further?

It is a 24/7 cruncher and it does not create "invalid" results at this speed. Summer is coming so I will let it crunch on like this until fall.

Sounds good.

[Movieman]

After 6 days at 100% load on the Q6600 at 3600mhz:
Before on AS5:
49-49-48-47
Now and keep in mind that in the last week here room temps have jumped at least 2C:
45-45-45-44
Solid 3-4C drop over AS5..

In appreciation of your generosity Mr. Tastymanatees and because your product is just plain good I decided to do a little advertising for you.

I beat you to it! Look right above your post there, haha. Your advertisement was more in depth though.
