I think that the contamination angle could have some merit though as I had been using IC7 for about six months before the test and it didn't do any damage to my CPU or heatsink. After that I did 2 things:
- Sanded the heatsink to improve pressure
- Swapped 4 TIMs on a short period of time
So I think that either the sample I got had something wrong with it or ICD requires a perfectly clean surface. One thing that I noticed is that IC24 was smoother and less dark than my IC7 but that might just be aging (I've had had that IC7 tube for about 2 years).
