Innovation Cooling's Diamond 7 TIM test results

[D_A]

The comparisons I saw only showed it to be 3-5 degrees better than AS5, which is what the D7 seems to be getting.

@Bob,

I did ask for the film for testing, I would like to know why my results varied from most. I suspect my convex waterblock has something to do with the thicker TIM.

My experience with LMP was that it is the best TIM that I have used. The idle to load temps were very close and if you through more voltage at the cpu the temps barely moved. Cleanup is another story though.

What is the stuff like? Is it a solid?

Like the name implies, it is a liquid metal. The surfaces must be extremely clean or the stuff just "puddles" up. But when everything is super clean a tiny amount spreads over the entire CPU leaving a very thin film of liquid metal. It is metal so it is very conductive so caution must be taken not to use too much.

Cleanup is a biatch, you have to lap the surfaces to remove it. Some people have experienced fusing of the block and CPU. But the performance was excellent.
