Default My Core 2 Duo idles at 50C... What to do?

Normally my E6300 is at like 20-30C, but for around a month now it's been running alot hotter than it should. Still not too hot, but hotter than normal.

I think it could be that the heatsink isn't seated properly, not sure though. That pushpin system doesn't seem very secure...

Any other idea's before I go out and buy a new heatsink?
