    Thumbs up My results at last

    I have made four 8-hour thermal cycles with Arctic Cooling MX2 (about 3 months old), then three 8-hour cycles with ICD7. One cycle was 4 hours of 100% loaded WCG, then 4 hours of idling.
    Cooler used: Thermalright Ultra-120 (non-Extreme) with 0.8mm plastic washer under the mounting bracket and all screws turned to max.
    Fan setup: Fander 120mm 1200rpm + Noiseblocker 120mm 1200rpm in push-pull setup
    Temps were measured with RealTemp ver. 2.24 (same readings as CoreTemp 0.97.1 but with Tjunction 5° C lower); ambient temps were measured with Master M890C+ digital multimeter. Several readings were taken in 10-second intervals and results were averaged:

    red columns are measured temps and green columns is delta between core and ambient air temperature.

    Average load-ambient delta:
    AC MX-2 #### ICD7
    35.73° C #### 29.28° C
    6.45° C lower with ICD7

    Average idle-ambient delta:
    AC MX-2 #### ICD7
    16.24° C #### 10.69° C
    5.55° C lower with ICD7

    That's an amazing drop, over 6° C in load and over 5° C in idle!

    EDIT: Application method used was pea sized blob in the center:
