What i want to know is - what is the CPU die. I've read that you have to put a small amount of thermal past on the CPU die so it touches teh heatsink, but what is the CPU die? is it the little metal chip thing in the middle of teh CPU?
Only the "die" or the metallic casing in the centre of the CPU will be in contact with the machined face of the heatsink. Covering the resin case of the CPU would be ill advised and a waste of time, as its not in firm contact with the heastsink. I believe some thermal paste is conductive, and some CPUs have componentry on the resin surface.
The die contains the heat generating CPU, the rest of the package is the support for leads and pins.
