In the end i took the zheatsink off and sanded the copper bottom to remove all the old crud. Aftyer that i put some more thermal grease on and it has been going fine now (45C)
thanks for your help

You should use isopropyl alcohol to remove the old thermal paste. It jjust dissolves away. Sand paper will damage the surface of the heatsink.
