Re: Reminder about hot CPUs and dust.

Well, thermal compound seems to degrade over time, as well.

To the OP, sounds like reseating the heatsink improved the contact between it and the cpu. Unless your HS was baked in dust, I doubt that just dust alone would cause such a change in temperatures. Perhaps the HS wasn't seated well to begin with?
