I think youll find that this grease is actually a special highly thermal
conductive fluid - which is designed to improve contact between the cpu
and the heatsink
Check that the cpu fan is working, (cables could be blocking it), also
examine the air flow through your case.
You could consider buying an aftermarket heatsink and cpu fan.

My computer crashed today and I have finally
apt-get install sensors-applet
I found out that my temperature is exceeding 80 on both CPUs under load
and is always sitting at 76 for the GPU
I have pulled off and cleaned the fan for the CPU but I have not done
anything about the grease. Will this make a lot of difference?
Thanks
Ken
