Any computer shop should sell some tubes of thermal paste. Just apply a thin layer and slap the fan on again.

yeah, the HWF god is correct (again) but only apply a paper thin layer of thermal paste, and if you need to remove it you´ll need some Isopropel Alcohol (available from your local chemist, you may be asked to sign the poisons book, just tell them why you want it (to remove thermal paste from CPU))
