I can't believe they came back and did something like this, its like if you don't like our product then obviously you have a problem, many of us did have issues but they were minor issues like the fishy smell and the blemishing but its just sweeping all of that under the rug and saying nope, never happened cause those guys are out to get us T.T.

Then to come onto a forum and demand that certain people be banned without even contacting the moderators or admins is just unprofessional, alot of unprofessional things have been done and its sad.

I would be happy to send you my old tubes as well cadaveca, just say where to send it.

IN court, I hope.XD


Realize he said up above you'll full of it, and should be banned.

due to the seriousness of the malicious intent they should be banned permanently from the website


Yet you're still offering to help him. You, my friend, much respect, much respect.

I don't think ICD realizes that with that Facebook post, they are now liable for slander.

Threats are hollow, evidence is clear - I recently sued 8 companies in 5 years all settled in my favour, it was quite lucrative. I'll have to check and see what the options are in CA.

Oh so making good paste isn't how you make money, it is suing others that makes your house payments, got it!

This was most likely an orchestrated event and not an idle adolescent bid for attention and as such and due to the seriousness of the malicious intent they should be banned permanently from the website. I have already identified some connections between a couple of the users and believe other deeper connections will follow soon on a number of forum members.

I've not been part of this discussion, nor have I used your product so I cannot comment either way on its effectiveness nor any problems that it may present.

I do have a question though, given that there is absolutely no monetary, nor other type of compensation, gain for the people who have stated they have had problems with your product, why would they "conspire" to target your company? That does not make a while lot of sense.

I just find it interesting how you include TPU's name in your postings, but then only focus on the members, and leave the staff's claims out of it.

Picking your fights, I see.

Anyway, all the power to ya, here in Canada, slander is a serious thing, but you haven't slandered me, so I am just enjoying the drama I have no part of. In fact, I'm a bit jealous, because I'd love to take you to court and shake your hand in person.


BTW, the local Scouting Commissioner is my wife. We have numerous members of our local community that will stand up to re-iterate just how legit I like to have things. As a public figure that other parents trust in educating their kids on how to be prepared for survival and maintaining class and honesty, I'm sure we'd have fun together. Scout's Honor!

I know, it's not like the community as a whole is in the TIM manufacturing business or are receiving kickbacks from other thermal paste companies.


Reminds me I need to check my mailbox for a check from Vaseline, not only does it keep your lips from being chapped it can help the cooling process of certain parts of pcs.

Great question, I do not know if they were compensated or not, do you? Look at the ELA and the DCT and EXIF data and then ask them - your speculation is as good as anybody's

You are the only one in this thread speculating. There were no kickbacks! You asked us to report our findings, got butthurt at the results, spent a shit ton of money to prove nothing, lost coolers that would prove you are at fault, now say we all lied just to give ICD a bad name?

All of this is on you and your company. The fact that you say that we had a conspiracy to slander you is so laughable I am glad my dealings with your lies and smoke and mirrors is over...'nuff said.

But you're the only one who stands to gain or lose anything here. Well, the drama is fun, I guess, and the others gains some entertainment. Good show, sir, good show. I do hope you understand that for many, you are simply digging your own hole. I wonder how many of the 38 people in this thread right now would side with you....sounds like something that might deserve a poll.!:toast:

IC Diamond makes a terrible product. I would advise everyone reading this to not purchase anything they manufacture and to remove any product that you may have currently in your rig. What's more, they also treat their customers poorly so forget about any service if you take issue with what you bought.

that's good, if you have the raw images still available we can make arrangement for third party independent analysis, only way to prove they are not manipulated.

Who woke up and said LETS FUCK IC Diamond!!! I sure didn't because until this thread was posted I never knew who you were. You came to this forum wanting feedback on your product and thats what you got BUT when it did not swing your way you demanded proof which was provided. Once proof was presented you threw up the defense flag and claimed all proof was bogus. People even sent you the evidence to you directly which magically "vanished".

Honestly you got what you came for on a PUBLIC forum.

EXIF data can be modified simply using Windows 7(and perhaps 8) built in tools. Everything from Camera model, date taken etc etc can be changed.

EDIT: True, IC Diamond cooled my components just like any other TIM. But it damaged the IHS of my CPU(scratches), GPU die(scratches), laptop CPU die(scratches) and the laptop chipset(scratches again). :/

You're not much of a people person are you?

Protip. Don't treat customers like shit, and especially don't blame them with some sort of conspiracy theory that they are to blame and they're trying to make your company look bad with no basis for doing so. If you are the owner of this company I would suggest that you hire a very good customer service rep. immediately.

If you are the customer service rep., may I have the phone number to your boss?

Your company's behavior is atrocious and you're not helping yourselves whatsoever by making these ridiculous claims that even though they aren't pointed at myself, I find them highly insulting as a business owner myself that a company with CS such as this can even stay in business.

This could of been handled much much better and if it was I wouldn't have to not recommend this product on any forum, contest, event or otherwise I participate in.

I actually used your product and thought it worked quite well! Never again.

Of course it can -but the data was taken from the pictures posted on then forum which is out of my hands and under control of the people that generated them. Third party professional analysis was performed here which adheres to a chain of custody

http://www.fmsconsultation.com/Image.html

Our commitment to results
Every matter we consult on is treated as though it will go to trial from the beginning. This means we maintain chain of custody, we document every step in our process, we follow SWGIT and SWGDE guidelines, we mitigate biases in our analysis, and we prepare our reports in a way that can be understood by the layman.

Our experience
We have consulted image enhancement and image authentication matters for both private and judicial reasons in the United States and abroad. We have provided expert testimony and forensic image reports.

You know if he would just come in and conduct himself with honesty and integrity, this thread could be great for his company and TPU. But no we get a douche thats makes the thread not even fit for GN.

You should have known that our forums require the picture to be resized and after cruising through this thread, I did not see were you asked for raw images.

because he didn't, and even if he did, they would magically get lost like my cooler did;)
