You have to remember that the thermal paste is ONLY there to fill in any microscopic voids where the two metals are NOT touching.
Some people put way too much on, wich reduces thermal conductivity between CPU & block/HS. You just want a very thin layer so that the TP fills in any voids that would otherwise be filled with air.
More pressure will give better temps. But that same pressure WITH TP will give even better temps.
