Make sure you have enough thermal compound on the bottom of the heatsink. Is the heatsink big enough for that processor? make sure the heatsink is all the may down to the processor and when i say that I mean its not hanging on something like what it clips into to stay down. I've had that happen a few times. If all else fails you should use a piped heatsink.. The piped heatsinks have worked very well for me.. Brings them to at least 10+ degrease cooler than they run.
