Yeah, that's a pretty old one. If it still has the original TIM, it may be dried out and ineffective by now. Cleaning the old off and applying new would be the first thing to try. And make sure the cooler is clean and the fan is spinning... and securely mounted. Sometimes one of the push pin feet will pop loose from the MB.
