All good. I have been using MX-4 for both my CPU and my GPU for years with excellent results. AS5's only drawback is that it is highly electrically conductive. (contains silver) So use caution when applying it so nothing seeps out on the circuit board.
You're probably only talking a couple degrees C difference between all those top TIMs.
