Innovation Cooling's Diamond 7 TIM test results

[littleowl]

let me explain how I did my little test. I know, I know that it really is not a great test but still gives me an idea. I put a compound on started the pc up for 5 min at idle watching temps and then loaded it for 10 min and took the temps. I only tested 4 different compounds. I have the ICD7 on the cpu now after my testing just to see how things go with it. Also keep in mind that my room temps are going to be very high because I heat by wood. Let me know if there is any other info I forget to put on here because I took all kinds of notes.

I did all test with a pea sized drop.

Also I don't think I put the nozzle in my fuzion the right way and I need to check that. For the most part I think the IDC7 is right on par with the others. I would like to see more of the great testing you guys are doing! Keep up the good work guys. I will keep on testing. and I will be able to take my clocks back up a little here soon. I took pics but my camera is really really old and most of them are not very good. If you want me to post them tasty I will!!??
