I think applying a fresh layer of Thermal Paste will do it.
BTW which proccy do you have..

u need to remove the heatsink again clean the remainng thermal compound from the HS & Proccy. with isopropyl alcohol which u can get from local medicine/chemist shop then reapply the TIM and then see the Temps.

hey thanx guys all of you'll are correct..it was the thermal paste the temperature came down to a cool 36-39C now on idle compared to the 60-70...one more thing is there any other alternative to isopropyl alchol...

i am using the intel desktop utilities and cpuid hwmonitor pro

i am using the core i5 750 overclock a bit to 2.77GHz

^^ Surgical spirit will do. It contains ethyl alcohol.

isopropyl alchol is best for cleaning CPU layer .

Check these :-

Ventilation & air intake are proper in cabinet
Heatsink & CPU are attached properly
Make sure u need only a tiny bit thermal paste if u r using INTEL HEATSINK

Finally remove ur sidepanel & on the system , see that any decrease in Temp !
