Ive read some stuff about Thermal Compound made from Diamonds rather then Silver and apparently with Diamonds the thermal resistance is way lower then with Silver and also there is no set time for Diamond based themal compund. Anyone heard about this stuff?

I've heard about carbon nanofiber thermal grease, but 'heard about it' is about the extent of it.

I found this review of Diamond based Thermal Compound from a company called Jetart
The Jetart website is down and ive never even heard of them before but it does appear to be a real product!

Well, it looks interesting from first glance!
We'll have to keep our collective eyes on it.

Probably true. Although diamond does spontaneously decompose to graphite, it will never happen in our lifetimes.

If you get the compound and use it on your system will that make it your "girls best friend"

If anyone tries the stuff, post up and let us know how it is.
cool

I never thought of diamonds of having that property to such a high degree. Neat! Electrically insulating too according to parent article below.

Approximate units of thermal conductivity,
higher being better:
Aluminum 220, Copper 390, Diamond 1000, 2000 to 2500 purified synthetic.
Also:
Thermal grease, silver: 2 to 3? huh
Air:
0.025 weee!
