Perform thermal paste replacement. If you do not know it, get help from someone who knows.

get some arctic mx-4

clean up the old thermal material completely 

use a very tiny amount of mx-4 and spread it with a bank card, needs to be very thin

better to get the newer mx-4 which is non conductive

mx-2 is ok, but use a very small amount to avoid a mess, use a bank card to spread it

If your is not delivering adequate power this can be problematic as well.

I use an expensive HX1000i which is overkill today. The less expensive RMi650i is popular. The RM650x is even more affordable/

if a  machine power is inadequate the CPU will slow down as much as overheating will do it
