The only way I know to tell is to take the hsf off and inspect the contact patch it leaves in the thermal paste. Also when it comes to thermal paste I really believe it's easier to put too much on than too little. I don't do the dime or strip thing personally, I spread as thin a layer as I possibly can on the top of the cpu and go from there. Too much paste can actually hurt performance quite significantly.
Lately I have been using the paste that came with my zalman 9700 because it seems to work nearly as well as as5 and is much easier to apply because it has a small brush to brush it on with.
Out of curiosity, have you tried using CoreTemp for your temp readings?
