Will this suffice for my cheapo computer http://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B00006B8DX/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1450392599&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=thermal+paste&dpPl=1&dpID=31gzCf3%2BwdL&ref=plSrch
Wich do you recommend? I got this cheap one of of Amazon thinking it didn't really make much of a difference.

This is the one i got, should i order another one or will this one do?
I had my 8350 at 25/30 idle and 50 full load.. and probably your cpu goes to thermal protection and downclock itself to 1.4ghz. Buy a thermal paste clean the cpu and the heatsink with alcohol 99% and apply a small dot on the cpu. if you want a cheaper thermal paste click here
One thing to add, I did buy really shitty thermal compound, but then today, when I bought my water cooling, I also bought a lot higher quality thermal compound
I took the plastic lid off today and monitored the heat of the metal chassis underneath while I rendered some video. I was hot right where you'd expect it - over the CPU and also over the fan.
I'm thinking of buying this heatsink, attaching it with some thermal paste to the metal chassis (with a little bit of thermal adhesive too to hold it in place but not too much to make removal a PITA) and see how that works. It won't be as good as attaching right to the heat pipes but there already is some heat conduction going to the metal chassis which I'm guessing is part of the overall thermal management. And I'm not willing to cut through metal just yet.
I know that you want your NUC silent, but for my purposes I may also get this USB fan to turn on when rendering.
We'll see how it goes...
This one or this one?
But thermal paste is almost as cheap as air.. http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-Thermal-Compound-Heatsink-SILVGREASE1/dp/B00006B8DX/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1450199242&sr=8-2&keywords=thermal+paste
