i7 920:Inadequate Coolering or something else?

only went with a rice grain sized amount on the processor to compensate for the thin layer I spread on the heatsink.

What part of "only a bit on the CPU" don't you get?

Lemme see. I put a "pea size" blob of thermal paste on the CPU, attach the heatsink which spreads it out evenly (hopefully), or I apply a much smaller than "pea size" amount to the heatsink, spread it evenly until it's a thin film, and then apply an equally much smaller amount to the CPU knowing it spread out and knowing that combined I've used less than a "pea size" amount. And the difference is? Keep the attitude to yourself, thanks.

the 'Pea size' technique is a bit flawed:

if you put a layer on the cpu and another on the heatsink even though you compensated it might still be too much since its 2 layers. Just reseat the heatsink just incase
