Better to err on the side of using too much paste, most of them are nonconductive so worst case scenario they just make a bit of a mess.
Its just easier to manage a small mess one than a large mess twice lol. I havent seen anything that would leave me to believe there is a way to put too much tic on a die. Are they really nonconductive though? If you put enough of it in the right places Im sure it would conduct.
Technically everything is conductive. Given a large enough voltage difference electricity will travel through any medium. But thermal compound is made to be very low conductivity. The real concern is thermal paste getting into things like your fan later and jamming stuff up, also making your PC look nice and not like a grey goopy mess.
