Do I need to reseat my Heatsink?

Name: Mike 2011-06-03 16:37

Okay, i need some help.
I just installed a new motherboard into my PC, the Asus M4a88t-v Evo USB3, and after cleaning my CPU of the old thermal paste, applying some new paste (Arctic Silver 5) and reinstalling the heatsink when I turn on my system and go into the BIOS HW monitor it shows my CPU temperatures as 65+.
Do you know what could be causing this to happen?
I have heard that it *might* mean I should reseat my heatsink. But, if I were to do that would I need to re-clean my CPU?
