    Thumbs up

    Grease, also known as "thermal compound", is typically used to fill up the imperfections between heat sinks and processors. In your case, however, you are using thermal tape, which should not be used in tandem with thermal compound. Too much of a good thing breaks processors as it has the potential to act as an insulator when used in excess...
