discussion De Beers creates copper - diamond composite for enhanced CPU / GPU cooling

[Marzipan]

no idea on cost, but I'm keen to see how they overcome the use of copper when that would bottleneck diamond's performance.

Company develops copper-diamond composite for better heatsink cooling — lower CPU and GPU temps

The heatsink could eventually become the most expensive part of your PC.

the more i see "This composite would hopefully make cooling far more efficient" i always instantly think ok so they will just add more gpus/cpus and stay at same power envelope.

Diamond is the most thermally conductive. Ross and I talked about this possibility 20 years ago.

i sholda kept some of my dads Kimberlite stuff it had tons of diamond particles that woulda been perfect for homemade thermal paste lol.

And yet diamond impregnated thermal pastes are often no better than standard ones.

They do a nice job of "lapping" the text off of the IHS though.
