Default Credit Card'd my CPU paste.. Running hotter!?

WTH?? I've been having problems getting 3.8g to boot, so I figured I'd re-do myt CPU paste. I dropped the clock down to 3.6g again, and I'm running Prime and it's sitting @ 55*c loaded at not even 10 min into the test..

I put a fine film of paste on the CPU, just enough to color it.. I also put two small dabs on my DTek Fusion heatsink to fill inn 3 small dents (NO IDEA how they got there! They're in the center). and I smoothed that off with the card as well..

There was a good deal of paste on there before so I cleaned it up.. I guess I shouldn't have messed with it..

Ideas?? The VCore is only @ 1.475.. I don't see why it would get that hot.. It spiked when I first started Prime, then it cooled back down to 48*, now it's back up to 55*... So it seems like it's transferring better... Maybe..


--EDIT--
Woops., Just got a BSOD..
