IC Diamond Application Instructions.

IC Diamond Application Instructions.Application.Prior to application make sure the HSF and CPU are clean. To do this, use Isopropyl Alcohol 90%+ pure (This is available from the chemist and is very inexpensive.) or something like Arcti Clean and a lint free cloth or coffee filter paper. A clean HSF and CPU are extremely important for best performance.IC Diamond is composed mostly of diamond powder, and as such is quite thick. Proper application is critical to optimum performance. Squeeze onto the centre of the CPU an amount of IC Diamond compound about the size of a pea (5.0mm to 5.5mm) on the centre of the CPU where most heat is concentrated. Place the heatsink on the CPU and press it down to spread IC Diamond over the CPU's surface. Clamp the heatsink and power up the PC. Once the Heatsink is mounted, the compound will spread out and cover the CPU and settle into a uniform thickness in about 2 hours. Correct Application Amount. Full mount Coverage.
