No.Standard thermal compound is usually adequate so long as the
airflow around the case is not restricted and the internal airflow
inside the case is not restricted.

There are no advantages to running your CPU any lower than that.Unless
you are having any specific heat related problems don't worry.
If you are over clocking that's a different issue however the benefits
of over clocking aren't that much,only in benchmarks.

Don't waste your time or money IMHO.
