Uh... better check out some instructions using thermal paste (like this one: http://www.arcticsilver.com/arctic_silver_instructions.htm). If you remove heatsink (for checking or any other reason) after applying paste, you should wipe both clean from paste beofore applying new one.

Personally I used is some Arctic Silver 5 with my CSPPC, but that stuff of yours is probably enough.

Btw., that small piece of metal is in fact the cpu-core.

Probably they run cool enough without special cooling, but if you want to be sure, but big fan somewhere near cool down the whole board.

If you really want to put some small heatsinks on those small chips, there are products for it, like this (http://www.microcool.it/english/products.html - ChipSink) - there are many kits that include small heatsinks with heat conductive tapes.
