btw when i put some artic silver grease on the ICM and bolted everything back together it looked like it all got compressed and found its way out through the edges.. I'm sure some stayed behind but a good amount got squeezed out when i tightened the ICM back together..

Thats the idea with thermal paste, works the same with computer processors. All you want is a layer thick enough to transfer the heat correctly, way too much and too little are also bad. You really don't need much of the stuff, a good pee sized glob will usually suffice. Any pics of the icm and it squeezing out or did you already clean it up?
