You might want to read some documentation on the CPU, there might be something in there about thermal grease. I know the processor upgrade that I got for my B&W said not to use any thermal grease because it already had something on it.
If you do decide to put on some thermal grease remember to use just a very very tiny bit because it spreads when you clamp the heat sink back on.
