 This video is brought to you by Cooler Master featuring the Sidon 240 millimeter all-in-one CPU water cooling system check it out at www.coolermaster-usa.com Welcome to another unboxing and first look in this case I am unboxing an entire carton of my favorite thermal compound So I it's funny because I sent an email to IC diamond and it's to see IC It's like IC haha because it's cool I see diamond about using their thermal compound on our standardized thermal test bench, and I was like guys, I really want to use this but Where is up slick? Where's that old tube? I thought we still had it. Do you have the old dude? Yeah, there it is So here's their old packaging. I was like, I really want to use yours as our standardized stuff Do you think you can send me some more thermal compound so that I can use it and they sent me? 25 tubes of it so that I could use nothing but IC diamond for everything ever I'm planning to feed it to my baby. So There you go, basically what makes this stuff good is that it has a very high diamond content, which is Thermally conductive. It's also doesn't dry out which is good I mean most modern thermal compounds have all these advantages but what I like about IC diamond is it applies fairly thickly so it's not messy and It spreads well once it heats up and it is from my experience One of the best performing thermal compounds out there. I really like it It's really good to get a consistent mount width because some thermal compounds will perform great once they cure or If you apply them in just exactly this way, whereas IC diamond has always been very consistent for me I used to do benchmarking of water blocks long time ago Where I do comparative testing between blocks and so I've tried a lot of different thermal compounds And for me the most important thing was not necessarily if on one mount out of five I could get the best temperatures ever for me It was every time I apply this to something and put a thing on it Is it going to be consistent and is going to perform well? So this is why I like this stuff So there you go my personal endorsement of IC diamond compound and my personal stash of IC diamond compound Here Slick you want some? Want to eat it? I dared him to eat it on the video before the video started, but I think he's gonna kind of bail on us Come on. I said no. Why don't you do it? When you dared me I said no Don't forget to subscribe to Linus Tech Tips for more unboxings reviews and other computer. He's so strong. It's not fair Go away. Ow my wrist
