IC Diamond Final Results

Time to close out my longest running giveaway. Much Thanks to all who have taken the time to test and post results.

Notable in the test series for obvious reasons was the large sample of stock compounds. When compared to all stock compounds giveaway results the notebook review results averaged about 3.2 C higher +8.87 C vs +5.6C.

I would have liked to have had more competitive compounds in the mix but sample sizes are small so it is hard to draw any conclusions.

I have broken out the individual compounds in this test series and added them to the 14 forum overall and the multiforum breakout of individual compounds for a more in depth comparison.

Notes On Test Result Comparisons

When comparing results more credence should be given to larger sample sizes, smaller less so.

1-5 samples 1 or two tests can flip results either way so usually get thrown onto the miscellaneous group.

6-10 samples may start to indicate trends but can be heavily influenced by outliers and so are lightly weighted other than a general trend indicator

11-20 samples - Starting to develop more of a confidence in the trend direction.

20-30 samples - Confidence level improves.

30+ Samples - High degree of confidence



















Some edits over the next couple of days before truly final

 

Glad to help out here, ICD is the best in my opinion and about the only choice of a TIM to replace a pad where a gap would exist.........

 

Looks good but my results were VS Arctic silver 5 not the stock compound. This thread should be moved to the Hardware Components and Aftermarket Upgrades section so more people will see it.
