hotter in there than it should be?

im running a pentium 4, 3.0 ghz northwood processor
when i am funning FAH (2 instances) my cpu temp is around 63 and the case temp is about 42
now i have had my computer apart and removed the cpu fan/heatsink to clean it and i swear it runs hotter now than before
i am not 100% sure about this but im pretty sure it never ran this hot
is it possible that i need to re-apply thermal paste to create a better bond?
could i benefit from a better fan/heatsink?
i am currently running a zalman which i believe is the following

i would have thought it was sufficient
the system in question is the same system in my sig. if you guys need more system specs i can post them up
muchos gracias
any thoughts?

I ran that Zalman on a P4 2.4B, but on the later Prescotts I ran the Zalman CNPS7000 Cu (full copper). An update to a better HSF would be a good idea as F@H running 24/7 does produce some heat with the processor at 100% usage.

i have a socket 478 processor
can someone make any suggestions for an upgrade for a hsf?
if possible could you find me a link on komplett.co.uk or overclockers.co.uk as im here in uk and i cant order from newegg

Your case temperature sounds a little on the hot side.

along with the fan on my graphics card and the one for the psu thats it

what i might do is open it up and post a pic see if you guys can give me some idea's cos the case is a beast
i have the older version of THIS
its solid steel and i dont own a saw or anything like that so drilling is pretty much out of the question
are any of those fans that fit in the pci slots any good?
