Ok, thanks!

Yeah, that looks like at least twice the TIM that should have been used. You should be using about a grain of rice worth of TIM.
That case's front panel USB3.0 doesn't have an internal USB3.0 header? That's a shame. Oh well, it still works.
Note to self: use less thermal paste next time.
And no, the plug coming from the front panel is a regular USB 3.0 plug, not a motherboard-compatible connector. With a connector converter piece, I could attach it to the mobo internally, but the way it is doesn't really bother me right now.
