Very good point, I wasn't even thinking about this but in fact this is quite a drastic drop in temps that the IC would not experience in any other conditions and possibly might not be designed to withstand such (especially the sharp drops in temperature versus the sharp increase which it should be designed for) I was actually thinking that this was partially the reason that the ICs do fail while reading the 'broken IC' thread. I don't get on it whatsoever when I drive for at least 10 minutes after the car has fully warmed up per temp gauge.
