Crazed overclockers stress about thermal paste. You’ve got a much simpler problem. Just get arctic silver.

But consider that fans wear, dust impacts flow, and sometimes the problem is memory controller not cpu.

My laptop was overheating and thermal paste made no difference, I replaced the fan/heat pipe assembly and it’s like new.

Clean everything well, redo cpu thermal paste (don’t use too much!) and hope that fixes the issue.
