Well, Every once in a while, somebody posts something like, "man, how great would it be if we had diamond heatsinks because the heat transfer properties of diamonds are so high!" Obvoisly until the artificial manufacture of diamonds become much cheaper, this is unfeasible. But, since the best thermal pastes use Silver particles because the heat transfer is better than copper (a.k.a. Arctic Silver), why aren't there thermal pastes being made using diamond particles?
I was searching through www.harborfreight.com the other night and found this interesting product.

It's a super fine grit polishing material that comes in a syringe like thermal paste and is oil soluble. So, couldn't you make thermal paste of this and get excellent results?
In a few weeks I'll have a testing rig consisting of an old AMD T-Bird 850, and other crappy stuff, so maybe I'll try it out and see what happens. Anyone else have any ideas on this?
