IC Diamond 24 Carat Thermal Compound maximizes thermal heat transfer between the CPU core and heatsink by taking advantage of diamond's superior thermal conductivity.

Curing Time: IC Diamond requires minimal time to attain peak performance; in most cases, IC Diamond will reach peak performance after two hours of use. *
Stability: IC Diamond is designed for stability - it will not bleed or separate in normal use.
Key Specifications:
Thermal Conductance: 4.5 W/m-K (data acquired with an ASTM D - 5470 thermal interface test instrument)
Thermal Resistance: 0.25oC-cm2/W@ 100 µ BLT
Average Particle Size: <40 µ maximum particle diameter
Compliancy: RoHS Compliant.
* Note Cure Time Assumes an optimized pressure of 50 PSI Lighter load pressures will increase cure times to a week or more

I replaced the paste on my NVidia GTX 480 (Air cooled) with IC Diamond, and was able to push the card further by another 90mhz on the shader. Considering that I had to up the voltage to do that (which means more heat) is quite a statement. I'd say that right off the bat, I noticed a 2-3 degree Idle difference, and about 5-10 degree difference at load.
