    They use man-made diamond powder and impregnate the paste with it.

    still, making something in that scale would most likely require lithography, which would have the cost go way over $10 a tube

    IC Diamond 24 and 7 is the same compound in the tube, the difference is only the size of the tube. The 24 is 4.8 gram vs the 7 is 1.5 gram. This only makes a difference to people buying the tubes.

    I was searching for the spec of some thermal grease today:


    Prolimatech PK-3: 11.2 W/m-°C (On official site)

    Prolimatech PK-2: 10.2 W/m-°C (On official site)

    Prolimatech PK-1: 10.2 W/m-°C (On official site)

    Arctic Silver 5: 8.7 W/m-K (not listed on the official site, I found it here)

    Gelid Extreme: 8.5 W/m-K (On official site)

    IC Diamond: 4.5 W/m-K (On official site)


    W/m-°C and W/m-K seem to have a 1:1 ratio.
