Using thermal paste instead of thermal pads is not necessarily better for VRM cooling. The issue here is that the components are not all at the exact same height, in contrast to e.g. the relatively flat surface of a CPU heatspreader. A thermal pad helps to even out the tolerances, making good contact with all the parts.
I am still curious about which parts of the VRM are actually cooled by the stock heatsink. On your picture it looks like the MOSFETs get no cooling at all. That might be worth looking into.
As for the super doctor software: not sure If I get the problem. I can just go here and enter some valid sounding credentials.
