CPU Problems

So as of late my computer's CPU has been starting to overheat a bit while doing resource-heavy things like playing video games. My frames per second would drop drastically and then race back up after half a minute or so every so often, I found that it was the CPU by using the program Speccy to check temperatures and noticed that the CPU was far hotter than it should have been.

Pretty sure it's time to replace the thermal paste on the CPU, been at least a year if not more since I have done it. Good thing my dad still has some from when he was fixing his own a while back.
