Hardware Pacers has posted a review on the Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound with water cooling! Here's a snip.
As the thermal paste was applied on Day 1, with the MB (motherboard) temperatures at 27C (case temperature) the max clock that was achieved was 3066@3495Mhz with idle temperatures of 35/36C. As any overclocker would try to push the limits of their CPU, it could not clock any higher with stability. On Day 5, the same instability. On day 12, the Full temperatures dropped by another degree, however that was not enough for stability. Thought this might count for the decreased motherboard temperature, however it is not fully accountable for the Full burn temperatures, most of the decrease comes to the Idle temperatures when the motherboard temperature is lower.
