There's no way it's hot if the heatsink isn't hot. Paste looks fine
OK, so I applied some new thermal paste and now it shows 66 degrees on the desktop. Apparently, the contact between the heatsink and the chip got better? 🤨
I played Doom 3 on the highest settings for 10 minutes and the maximum temperature was 72 degrees. The heatsink's still as cold as ice.
