Even just mucking about with the fan (poking things about without
removing it) can disrupt how well a heatsink is pressing against a CPU
(with heatsink compound between them).  It dries out, over time.

A smooth, thin, consistent layer of compound should be spread over the
entire surface that mates with the heatsink, as per the instructions
that the compound should provide.

George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not
a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments.
