Idle temps are quite important to me as I like my pc as quiet as possible when idle. The cooler the cpu the lower the cpu fan speed. I'd imagine a couple of degrees wont make much difference though. Plus I currently have mx-2, so the difference might be even less.
On Gigabyte boards I got around this by using EasyTune. I would set the CPU fan to 20% until CPU temp reached 10 degrees under Tcase, then PWM fan would quickly ramp to full speed until it was 100% at Tcase. It kept the computer quite when doing normal work and the higher idle temps never appeared to effect anything. I don't do this any more as Gigabytes Easytune software is full of bugs and not worth installing anymore.

I've sent a PM and I'd love to try anything that's left.
I've always thought my 780ti ran a bit hot, so I'd love to see if I can knock a few degrees off
My CPU basically does nothing (3700k sitting at 3.2ghz right now! Don't need the speed!), so I thought posting CPU benchmarks would be very boring...

Check CPU-Z, your CPU isn't a 3700K, it'll more than likely be a 3770K, you want to change that in your sig mate.
I Was not one of the first, but I was certainly in the first 100.
Is there any news on when the next batches are going to be posted Frostdragon ?
Thanks.

They're sending out 100 tubes out, 20 at a time, patience guys
so it will take over a month for some people to receive them, the results thread isn't exactly flooded with results either.

If it takes over a month to receive yours you have to remember it is free, I can't see everyone posting before and after results, I will post my results within a couple of days of getting mine.
Same here and I was in first 25.
If you go by the posts in the thread you should have been in the first 20 batch that went out, as some of the posts were not entries. I hope that a load of lurkers didn't just email the guy and not do any of the other parts of the giveaway, as there doesn't seem to be a lot of results out of 40 sent?
Hi All.
To be honest, I followed the instructions given by liking on Facebook and sent the trust PM as was asked - I do not mean to sound ungrateful (As I'm not), but I expected a little more communication in regards to who has been sent what - Surly they would want to know who has received what has been sent, or else it makes this look very disorganised, and is potenially as waste of money !?
I need some new paste as a matter of urgency, but have waited for this as it seemed the most logical thing to do - FrostDragon has not posted here for a while, so I am starting to worry that this paste will never materialise for many of us that have conformed to the instructions.
As I said, please do not take what I am saying out of context - Yes I understand this is free, and I am incredibly greatful, no doubt Frost has a lot on his plate and I suspect that's the reason for the lack of response, however this is a way of representing the business he works in, and thus far I don't feel the brand has been represented fairly given the lack of reply or apprent organisation.

well I got mine, picking up some ISA this week to clean the old stuff off, maybe many people are waiting till they have results before posting?
The tube arrived exactly when it should have for when frost said he sent it, so i'd put the lack of communication on the Ocuk members.
Saying that, I do see the benefit of frostdragon posting a list of who he has sent to, so people know it's coming and can maybe ask at the post office if nothing was recieved.

I went from MX-4 on my Corsair H100 to trying out the IC-Diamond.
As many have said, the idle temps seem a bit worse, but load temps are slightly better.
Roughly the following, however room temperature has been flucting a fair bit so I don't expect these to be accurate or to be taken as an accurate comparison. I will be testing this is a stable and temperature-controlled environment when I get time, hopefully towards the end of the week.
IC Idle: 42'c
MX-4 Idle: 38'c
IC Load: 56'c
MX-4 Load: 60'c
