love to test it
I agree to test ICD7
I got mine in today and here are results
cooler i use was Thermalright XP-90 passive on Intel T7200 with 120mm PSU fan pulling from top and 80 mm fan pushing from side
Ambient temp was 26.9 C during the test(all temps are in degree celcius)
before was using Arctic Silver Ceramique
idles at 32 and load is over 80
after using IC Diamond
Idles 30 and load is around 50
and keep in mind that this testing was done right after applying TIM, without any curing time
just WOW

I would like to participate in the test, have used Artic Silver 5 and currently using OCZ Freeze
Thank you
--------------------------------------------------
These are my results for a new build.
Q9400, Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS4 MBoard, Zalman 7000 AlCu stock fan, open air setup.
OCCT 3.1.0 Run for 2 hours
RealTemp 3.00
------------------Idle-----------Load(max)----Ambient----Rise above Ambient
AS5 ----------39-33-28-29--53-46-48-49--25.5(78f)---27.5-20.5-22.5-23.5
OCZ Freeze 39-33-29-29--51-44-46-48--25.0(77f)---26.0-19.0-21.0-23.0
IC7 ----------39-33-29-29--52-45-46-47--26.7(80f)---25.3-18.3-19.3-20.3
According to RealTemp sensor test, the first and third temp sensors are stuck at the low end meaning the sensors don't report temps lower than a certains temp on a cool down test. This seems to be quite common on 45nm Core2 Quads. Note that Core Temp 0.99.4 shows that the first and third temps are actually core 1 and core 2?
The results seem to fall in line with expectations, namely AS5 being the oldest formulation, giving the worst result, OCZ being a more recent TIM gives the middle result, and IC7, the newest TIM, gives the best. I expect that in a closed case and/or overclocking, the results would spread out more with IC7 gaining a bigger advantage.
IC7, although the best performer, is quite thick in consistency and a bit more difficult to apply (what about HDT heatsinks?). OCZ Freeze is almost as good and has a thinner consistency and is claimed by the manufacturer to remain stable. My current build is using OCZ for the last 18 months and seems very stable.
