Even just mucking about with the fan (poking things about without removing it) can disrupt how well a heatsink is pressing against a CPU (with heatsink compound between them).

A smooth, thin, consistent layer of compound should be spread over the entire surface that mates with the heatsink, as per the instructions that the compound should provide. -- tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.19.5-100.fc20.i686 #1 SMP Mon Apr 20 20:28:39 UTC 2015 i686 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
