    Liquid Ultra is best used between the CPU Die and the IHS.
    Although others disagree, I find that IC Diamond is the best between the IHS and the heatsink due to it being thicker and thus, making better contact with the heatsink.

    See my comparison: http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/clevo-overclockers-lounge.788975/page-156#post-10240358

    Edit: if you're getting a laptop with a non desktop CPU then forget the first part about applying Liquid Ultra between the CPU die and IHS since the CPU is soldered, just stick to IC Diamond if you want a headache free experience.

    just my 2 cents worth
