In post 97 of this thread I found out that the base of my heatsink is convex. However IC Diamond noted that my pressure is good as my IFX-14 has spring screws for tightning the heatsink and provide greater pressure. I must say my IFX-14 has quite a tricky mounting system and it is very easy to move the cooler if not careful.

No amount of mounting pressure will eradicate a bad IHS mount. The IHS is soldered to the core on Q6600 onward iirc. Yours is not bad though, I wouldn't lose sleep over it. You might also want to consider lapping the IHS as the Core2 CPU's had notoriously uneven IHS's. This could even out your core temps a little if you are that concerned.

4 gram, seems silly not to invest in a few applications with results like these

You will get plenty of mounts out of a 4 gram tube despite having to use slightly more paste than lower viscosity TIM's.

Yeah in the following posts IC Diamond mentioned that he found some IHS of cpus to be concave and some to be convex.

For [email protected], did you increase northbridge voltage? Also any tinkering to PLL and VTT voltages?

I've spent a hung over saturday playing. Hard to sort results.

Yes wingman, upped NB voltage incrementally from the default 1.25v to 1.41v, bolt modded the NB heatsink (might redo it with some diamond 24 once my results are in).

Apart from Vcore all other voltages left at stock.

Still waiting for mine.

Is anyone else waiting for the postman?

I really want to test this stuff!

I'm still waiting too, so hoping the postie will come up with the goods next week.

Just got mine, testing tonight

Rob_J · 28 Feb 2011 at 10:49

Still nowt delivered here, oh well, m'be I'm not on the list.

Received IC Diamond24 & Perihelion4, many thanks.

As per our agreement I will test both compounds against my existing TIM, Noctua NT H1 which performed better than AS5. Will take about a week.

I will get some base lines with my existing TIM from my loop which will be cold, upto temp and load. Should be interesting.

Steves1982 · 28 Feb 2011 at 15:53

Mine arrived today, will be testing at the weekend and comparing to my current setup.

Does anyone know how long the burn in period for this is? My AS4 has been on for a month now so will need to know to compare accurately.

another 12 went went out today that were miss-filed for processing by my sample processing person. I am searching files for any others - I apologize for the delay

LiamJ · 1 Mar 2011 at 01:02

Still haven't had mine, so I presume one of those was mine.

Thanks for the update and the free samples!

IC Diamond · 1 Mar 2011 at 01:58

Just found another in the spam folder - we keep records, save all customs receipts, we manage 100% delivery on these giveaway's for those that qualify. Sometimes we misstep but everybody will get the samples. Again sorry to those that got delayed.

Hope mine is en-route, looking forward to testing!

Mine arrived yesterday thank you.

Have run tests on my i7 Core 2600K at 4.8GHz and Alienware M17x R2 Laptop (both CPU and Graphics).

Just need to re-run the Alienware tests with the IC24 as by the time I did them last night the ambient temp had dropped by 2 degrees from the original TIM test.

Monkey Puzzle · 1 Mar 2011 at 11:19

My samples of perihelion and IC 24 arrived today - many thanks. I'm going to wait until I get an aquaero 5 for better testing (including ambient and water temperatures and logging), which is looking like towards the end of this month.

VoG · 1 Mar 2011 at 11:20

recieved mine this morning, it was posted on 17th Feb so i'm convinced uk customs have been playing hide the bloody parcel just to pass the time
