    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.
    The Initial value finished
    ...
    PI calculation is done!

    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 ]

    Liquid Metal Pro should be the best in subzero too, but Ceramique works fine
