This might seem like a newbie question, but, does the amount of thermal grease put on a processor affect the heat transfered, is too much , too much? is too much bad?

i'm kinda new to this as well, but on the instructions for a new heat sink i have bought but not installed yet, it says to use a thin coat. apply a small pea size amount and spread it out with a credit card's edge.

Yes, too much can be a problem. Remember, thermal compound is suppose to fill in tiny gaps in between a heatsink and the processor. You do not, and should not be generous when applying it.
