Would applying AS5 to 7600gt lower temps?

IS AS5 better than the stock TIM? Temps aren't really a problem, but my hd is still in shipping to rma and I'm dying to do something with my heap of parts.

Maybe by a degree.
Go ahead, it can't hurt it. Just make sure that it's only on the die and doesn't get on the surrounding stuff.
That could be bad.

And YOU DON'T NEED A LOT!!!!!!
Like a grain of rice size is plenty.
Spread it out a little with an inside out ziplock bag then let the pressure of putting the HSF on take care of the rest.

In typical AS5 instruction fashion, how much should I put on, in short-grain pieces of rice of course.

Like the size of a grain of rice (i.e. NOT A LOT)

Yeah, don't put alot at all. By doing so, you might actually raise temperatures.
