Is that really all you have to do with thermal paste? Put a little dab on and it'll help out? Hmmmmmmm

Just make sure it's non-conductive. Arctic Silver 5 is a no-no.

Now on to my issue:
I'm using an ATX power supply to power my 12 seeds. I have 10 on one cable, and 2 on another. Then they both plug into a spiltter. Then that plugs into the PCIe cable to the PSU. Well, I just fried where they connect to the PCIe cable, and in the power supply. I've got most of them running about 1200Mhz. I'm assuming I was pulling too much power for 1 cable. How many do you think I can safely run on 1 PCIe port off the PSU?

If you're wondering what cables I'm using to split the power cable, here's a link... http://lutro0-customs.com/products/gridseed-pci-e-modded-power-cables

Here's a quick and dirty diagram:
