That's not true. As it was said all high performance TIMs(i.e ICD, AS5, AC MX2, Tuniq) have pretty close performence 1C. What is really matter is applying method. Just look here Thermal paste for G73JH GPU. And it is still 1.5 week to go of curing time. Manufacturer states that temps will drop 1-5C during curing period. (Hopefully 5C)

Comments like this just make me laugh.
You know better than all the much more tech savvy folk doing objective and much more accurate tests and reviews on the web.

Do your homework before posting such dimwitted comments...

What's the shelf life of AS5? I thought one of the main advantages of IC7 is that once applied, it will last much longer than other compounds, so that you don't have to replace it every 6 months.

I couldnt find any info on how long ICD is supposed to hold, all i could find is "durable" and that can be interpreted really widely but i know that MX-3 was advertised to hold "a computers lifetime unlike AS5" and on their website they give you a 8 year warranty for it.
