Carefully clean off all traces of thermal compound from the CPU as well as the heatsink base. Use 70% Isopropyl alcohol for this. Then apply a small pea-sized drop of Arctic Silver 5 to the cleaned surfaces and re-install.

There is no need to remove the heatsink when you are cleaning with compressed air.
