Anyone tried Indigo extreme with sub zero temps? It works great at normal application temp but requires special installation.

Its application is too hard to do, because after you do subzero you have to dismount, and it is very cumbersome and expensive to use indigo. The issue isn't what transfers heat the best when it comes to ambient temperatures, the issue is what wont freeze past -80C, at -180C everything freezes, even this stuff. However GC-Extreme defrosts well, and doesn't freeze so bad either, id guess down to -160C it is still able to transfer heat and not frozen like ceramique or ceramique2 would be. Also Antec Diamond 7 or whatever worked till about -150C. That is why you gotta use a torch to defrost the paste LOL.
