Why would you do that without consulting someone about it first?

haha whoops, i dont know what i was doing, but without the thermal paste temps were going up to 55C
so i looked at the pva glue it looked the same so i put it on,
now my comp is staying at like 42C, is that hot for a pentium 4 northwood A? 2.8ghz?
