Want to try our award-winning thermal paste?
In cooperation with Overclockers UK, Innovation Cooling would like to send out 100 tubes to OCUK'S loyal and lucky forum members.
All we ask you to do is the following:
Post your BEFORE and AFTER temperatures (before the application of ICD and After)
If you can show the ambient room temp whilst measuring this would be great please.
Be a registered member of 'Overclockers UK Forums with at least 10 posts or more.

Post me a TRUST message with your name and address and then inturn post in here both that you have sent the aforementioned pm and POST your results on here.
NOTE: For those whom go the extra mile and test on a Graphics card or a MOtherboard Chipset, will be rewarded with an extra tube (after posting their results) for their trouble.
BTW to qualify you must live within the United Kingdom! cheers
Have fun
PLEASE READ THOROUGHLY BEFORE TESTING/POSTING YOUR IC DIAMOND TEST RESULTS!!!
PLEASE ONLY POST WITH RESULTS WHEN YOU HAVE FULL RESULTS, OTHERWISE YOUR
POST MAY NOT BE SEEN BY ALL IF YOU RESERVE THE POST FOR LATER RESULTS
WITH IC7. PEOPLE TEND TO GO TO THE NEWEST POST, SO IF YOU WANT IT TO BE
SEEN BY ALL, POST YOUR RESULTS ONCE YOU HAVE THEM ALL. ALL OTHER
DISCUSSION/SUPPORT POSTS, GO RIGHT AHEAD!!
PLEASE BE SURE TO BENCHMARK YOUR CPU TEMPS WITH YOUR CURRENT TIM AND
RECORD YOUR RESULTS BEFORE USING IC7 FOR TESTING. WE NEED BEFORE AND
AFTER PLEASE!
ALSO, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU DON'T CHANGE ANY VARIABLE OTHER THAN THE
THERMAL COMPOUND USED FOR BEFORE/AFTER (I.E. SAME VOLTS/CLOCKS, COOLER,
AND OTHER HARDWARE)
APPLICATION METHOD
For all those participating in the ICD/ giveaway, please follow this link to the Innovation Cooling website for more information on the products:
Innovation Cooling
Proper application is the key to this product. The nature and
consistency of this product is likely quite different from what most of
you are used to in a Thermal Compound. We don't
recommend use of traditional methods of applying the TIM like razor
blades, lines, Rice size, etc. ARE ALL Big BIG NO NO's. Through extensive end user testing, the best overall application method
has been determined to be a pea sized amount directly in the center of
the CPU. The TIM should be adequately spread via the down force of the
CPU cooler (a sufficient amount of down force will provide best results; minimum 50psi of down force should be the goal for optimum results.
please see the Innovation Cooling website for more info). Also, for
coolers/surfaces that have many peaks and valleys, it may be beneficial
to wet the surface(s) with a small amount of ICD/Perihelion to initially fill the voids in the mounting surfaces...then proceed with recommended application as usual. Please click on the link below for application
methodology and shoot me a PM if you have any questions.
Keep in mind, ICD/Perihelion has been formulated with the specific goals
of providing superb thermal conductivity with short set times, but also
for long term stability and performance without pump/bake out through
extended thermal cycling or usage. This stuff is very stable over long
periods of time.
Please do feel free to navigate through the whole Innovation Cooling
website as there is tonnes of information on there that might prove
beneficial.
HOW TO POST RESULTS
THE FORMAT IS AS FOLLOWS (ALL TEMPS IN C):
OPTIONAL INFO: PROCESSOR, VOLTS/CLOCKS, HEAT SINK/COOLING USED, ETC.
Before Compound:
Ambient Temp:
Idle Temp:
Load Temp:
ICD/Perihelion
Ambient Temp:
Idle Temp:
Load Temp:
Added 5/22 - Cure Time- Cure Time averages 2 hours in most situations
for sinks with adequate pressure loading with maybe .5C more overnight.
Lightly pressure loaded sinks may take a day or more depending on the
amount of pressure
If you have any problems or need support, please feel free to post here
for now. Remember, proper application and good even heat sink pressure
(goal should be minimum of 50psi or more) are crucial for peak performance. Too much or too little compound will impact your
results so please do visit the Innovation Cooling website for
Application Instructions with images and explanations. For those with
direct touch heatpipe coolers, you might want to try wetting the contact surface of the cooler with a tiny amount of ICD to fill any small voids before proceeding with the normal application method.
If anyone has any questions, please feel free to post up. .
