    Hi overstand, can you explain what you meant?
    The heat sink is always attached OVER the CPU.

    Between the fan and the CPU you have a heat sink.
    You have 4 "legs" that fix to the MB. Are they tight?

    Great to hear the thermal paste helped fix it! What did you do differently the second time to get it to work?

    If it's of good quality and is well applied, thermal paste never needs to be replaced.

    The there was some space between the thermal paste and the CPU first time so there was space between it and the heat from the CPU couldn’t go anywhere

    Yep yep, but who knows what brand/quality was used and if the OP put it on originally or if it was from a factory and if it was done right the first time. Also, the dude in the video says you may need to change it and recommends changing it before seven years anyway though in his case it made no difference.
