I would check to see how fast the fan is spinning before reapplying thermal paste. If the fan is spinning slower than normal under heavy load, then you may have to replace it altogether but if the fan is fine, then yea, reapply the thermal paste and see if it improves. The easiest way to check ur fan speed is to install speedfan and run prime 95
