Most likely the application of the paste was not done properly. Thermal paste needs to be applied in a very thin film ( use the side of a credit card or something similar to spread it out and remove any excess), because it's supposed to only fill in the tiny air spaces (imperfections) between the heatsink and the CPU. It's NOT supposed to act as a third layer throughout the heat exchange surface.
You'll need to apply it properly and try again. If still too hot, you can try a different thermal paste (Arctic Silver comes to mind).
Also, check the clock speed on that CPU, make sure it's not OC'ed, ensure the heatsink's fins are clean and the fan is spinning.

Shin Etsu and AS5 have the best thermal transference but Shin Etsu doesn't have AS5's curing issues.

Due to the unique shape and sizes of the particles in Arctic Silver 5's conductive matrix, it will take a up to 200 hours and several thermal cycles to achieve maximum particle to particle thermal conduction and for the heatsink to CPU interface to reach maximum conductivity. (This period will be longer in a system without a fan on the heatsink or with a low speed fan on the heatsink.) On systems measuring actual internal core temperatures via the CPU's internal diode, the measured temperature will often drop 2C to 5C over this "break-in" period. This break-in will occur during the normal use of the computer as long as the computer is turned off from time to time and the interface is allowed to cool to room temperature. Once the break-in is complete, the computer can be left on if desired.

so 200 hours of "thermal cycling" .... not use but time warming up and cooling down. Say 5 minutes warming up and 5 minutes cooling .... and lets say ya turn it on and off 3 times a day allowing it to cool off before ya turn on again ... that's 400 days.
