Have you always been applying this much thermal paste?
Arctic Silver 5 website says to apply "5 cubic millimeters (or 1 uncooked grain of white rice)". If you were following those instructions to the letter, in my recent testing of various AS5 dot application amounts, I've found that this amount was too little and it's best to actually put a dot that is 3-4 times the "5 cubic millimeters" amount. Although this may be specific to my heatsink.
If there is too little thermal paste the temp will be noticeably too high. If there is too much thermal paste then the temp will be 4-8C higher from the optimal amount.
If you can, remove the heatsink and see if the thermal paste covers the majority of the CPU. The CPU should be covered at least ~80% of the top surface.
If this cooler is new, check its base to see if it's even. I had a heatsink whose base was very uneven.
