Would adding some more metal to the heat sink for this vertical IC allow the IC to run cooler and therefore last longer? I did this with a Panasonic 27" vertical IC that was running at 150 degrees F--the extra metal took it down to 126 degrees F. By the way, is there a symbol on the keyboard for degrees?
