Hello, take a look at the provided screenshot.

Mind the CPU though, it goes up to 70*C+ on full load playing games on the PC while it goes down to a minimum of around 59*C on light to idle load. This screenshot is taken mid-game. Is this normal? I am planning to buy new thermal paste since I think the old thermal paste I applied almost 6 months ago are worn out.

P.S. The ambient temperature here is really hot. Reaches 36*C on a day.

Yep it is totally normal since according to Intel maximum safe temperature for your CPU is 74.1°C and since ambient temperature is also high therefore idle CPU temperature is also more but totally normal.
