Dale,

    Was there a temperature improvement by using the grease?

I've seen 7c+ reductions by using Arctic silver type compound on processors instead of the stock melty pads sometimes provided.

Yes, the book says normal, but it's annoying.  I fixed mine by taking the 
heatsink off and using heatsink compound on it to the mating surface then I 
used locking washers under the machine screws and tightened it down, be careful 
not to over toque.  The clicking is caused by the heatsink expanding and 
contracting.

Good luck
