Diamond thermal paste. After cleaning both gpu and cpu i applied new thermal paste which was much more easier to apply than ic diamond and which also includes diamond particles according to manufacturer. The thermal conductivity of natural diamond is around 22 wcmk which makes the diamond five times better at conducting heat than copper. I want a paste that i can leave for at least a year and get consistent performance without it drying out. Best thermal paste for cpu gpu overclocking and laptop coolers.
Good performance is obtained when use jp dx1 for thermal conductivity of semiconductor devices such as cpus ics high power led and power transistors. Purified synthetic diamond has a thermal conductivity of 2000 2500 wmk compared to 406 429 wmk for pure silver. Thermal paste is generally used between heatsinks and components like your cpu.

Kryonaut vs ic diamond. Also the cooling gains are often invalid comparisons many pastes take time and several thermal cycles to set up fully where the diamond paste is at max efficiency immediately. The name may change but its purpose remains the samekeeping your components cool. These thermal compounds can be used with both cpu air coolers and water liquid cpu coolers for processors and graphics cards.
Moissanite a crystalline form of silicon carbide that resembles diamond has a comparable thermal conductivity. The reason behind this extreme performance is the diamond powder filler present in thermaltake tg 7 that dramatically improves the thermal conductivity as compared to basic silicon based thermal compounds. I wasnt even to use my laptop without it reaching 90c and thermal throttling after 3 days. The high thermal conductivity may be used to distinguish diamond from cubic zirconia and glass.
Then i re attached heatsink re tested temperatures and noticed a couple more degrees of temperature decrease compared to ic diamond. Thermal paste and why you need it thermal paste has been called many things over the years from cpu grease and tim to heat sink compound.
