It is still a good temperature, but if you already removed the heat sink to see the thermal paste, then you should already make the change, you can't leave the thermal paste on as long as you remove the heat sink.

Hi @sidartha 

 

Depending on use, it is generally recommended to replace the thermal paste after 1 year of use.
