IC-Diamond Turned Rubbery ?

[Dicehunter]

So a few days ago now I swapped out a CPU cooler for a slightly newer/better one and it was only on the CPU for around 3 weeks.

I applied IC-Diamond to it and when I took the cooler off a few days ago the IC-Diamond had turned into a very rubbery substance.

I'm guessing this is one of the reasons OCUK don't sell it anymore ?

its an awful paste and way to thick. ive used it twice and never again and it baffles me how people get good results with it.

Using ic diamond 24 here and it's fine, tube must be 5 years old too

I apply a small half rice grain size in middle and let the heatsink spread

I changed the paste on a 7950 and used it on that too and it's great dropped 10c load temps on the 7950

I think it only goes rubbery when it's cooled down, what were your temps like on the 4790k then ?
