Recently I replaced the thermal paste on my 8800gts with arctic silver and now for some reason the heatsink is only making contact on sides of the gpu. The thermal paste only is disturbed on the sides of the chip. (its runing at 79c instead of 63 while idling)

I already tried getting the screws really tight, it only help a little bit.

thanks for help.
