Solution
You are not going to see 30C temps while using it actively...

As long as it is not thermally throttling,.... use it...; extreme thermal testing not recommended, as many cooling solutions are not engineered for Prime95 use applications, etc...

Clean old thermal paste, reapply and see what the temps are then

35 idle isnt that bad but maybe you should replace it with a better air cooler or a water cooler

A great water cooler is the corsair H100i V2, but some cheaper air coolers are the noctua coolers
