1st time build. Iput heat seek compound(compusa generic) on along with the thermal pad from the heat sink. This seems to be a no-no. Should I remove the thermal pad? Will any harm be done if i dont.? I put thermal compound over the entire cpu.

Great tutorial on applying paste http://www.arcticsilver.com/arctic_s...structions.htm
yes, remove the thermal pad, then apply thermal paste, like it says in the link.
You must use use either the pad or paste, I would recommend strongly that you go for the paste.
