What he meant was had he changed only the TIM on top of the IHS, the difference between all the tested TIM would be within margin of errors (1-2C).
High performance TIM only show tangible benefits when applied to bare die (as with GPU and Laptop), for CPU with IHS there are not much difference between the worst and the best TIM.
So almost any good TIM is as good as any other in terms of temperature? all the more reason to forget all these temperature measurements and look at other criterion, such as longevity.
That is where 40% diaper cream will flounder; temperature wise it is very good, but it just isn't going to last.
