I saw that TomsHardware chart a while back and I'd take its ranking of AS5 with a large grain of salt, for did they give it a 200 hour (!!!) burn in?  It is really good stuff and have used it in years past, but as I said the tech has moved on and so have I (though I still got a partially used tube of it sitting about).

To be honest, I had been using Coollaboratory diamond paste for quite a while. Switched to MX4 recently and like it. Easy to apply and great temps.

In my opinion, given that there's only a few degrees between the best TIM and the popular runners up, it makes sense to go for the easiest to apply, the paste that doesn't need a break-in period or dries out.

 

Makes no difference to the stability of our overclocks. None of us are within a couple of degrees of instability, or at least we shouldn't t be.
