If you used all the thermal paste, you used way too much. Take the heatsink off and clean off all the thermal paste from the heatsink and CPU heatspreader. Clean both surfaces with alcohol and then apply just a very small amount to both surfaces...just apply a small amount to cover the heatspreader and the contact area of the heatsink .
