Too much thermal grease is a barrier to heat, because it should only replace the air (a potent thermal insulator) between uneven surfaces. Oil would be better, but that runs away.
Which is also why you shouldn’t smear the grease, because then you get air pockets. Rice corn or spaghetti method displaces the air on putting the cooler on.
Idk what rice means here, but I can guess corn is just a bead in the center and spaghetti is the same thing but you have a narrower tube so the ball looks like spaghetti.
Rice sounds like it wouldn’t be enough paste to cover the die. Like you’re just putting down paste in a very small line the size of a grain of rice. That’s not gonna spread enough, bruh.

I’m not familiar with those methods and “rice corn or spaghetti” makes me think you boil the the paste first
