stummerwinter did test some thermal pastes with his compressor cooling system (two stages): http://www.awardfabrik.de/k-hlung-ex...xtremtest.html (It's German, sry)
Arctic Silver 5 & Ceramique were almost at the same level, but not that easy to handle (you need to warm up to > -50°C if you want to change CPU)
Cheap silicone-paste is easier to handle, but CPU is warmer, too.
I think Hipro5 did a similar sub-zero thermal paste test some years ago, and Ceramique was the best.
The Arctic Silver 5 ended up in 2nd place, off by 5 Celsius degrees if I remember correctly.
I'm using Ceramique all the time and had no trouble at all ( even removing a pot with the temp at approx. -60C ) [ not a so advisable move ]

Here how every test I seen went - grey pastes artic silve 5 and ocz pastes good for air cooling
all sub zero cooling went to the white stuff ceramique pastes are always better for subzero cooling.
Thanks Guys !!!
Ceramique it is .
