Even paste layers aren't critical-- 99 percent of the paste gets pressed out
once it's mounted. I rarely make it an art.

Is the fan running properly on the heatsink? Have you blown it out lately
(try a straw!)

Sometimes the temp sensors are wildly inaccurate (I'm looking at you, Abit)

Did you degunge the CPU and sink?

Is this the first time it's built in this case? Maybe your case airflow
sucks.
