I don't believed I tightened it excessively. When I tried to remove the final screw from the CPU heatsink I noticed that it would not come off. I then flipped the board and it appeared that the standoff was spinning freely in the base, and that the edges of the base holding the standoff in place were stripped. -
Have you found a good way to balance the loads? I've noticed that sometimes one power supply supplies considerably more current than the other.

M15x 470M thermal compound suggestions

You can also try the Antec Formula 7 Diamond paste. It seems to be a little than arctic silver and isn't too expensive either. -
Did they send a technician to your home or did you need to mail it in?

I just did a repaste and I stripped one of the standoffs holding the heatsink to the base. So now I can't remove the heatsink anymore
