Innovation Cooling's Diamond 7 TIM test results

[Martijn]

My results:

I applied the TIM as I always do, the pea sized blob on the centre of the IHS. All 'before' temperatures are with AS5, the ambient temperature here is 19C. Coretemp 0.95.4 was used to measure the temperatures on the CPU. I will add more to this list as I put this on other systems in the house.
