Basically all 4 cores of my CPU have been at 95 - 100 degrees all the time for as long as I can remember. I understand not looking into this earlier was a terrible, but what if anything can I do now? The PC works, but it's been having a few issues recently so I decided I wanted to sort this out once and for all. Should I invest in a new CPU cooler or is there no point? I want to edit videos mostly and play some games (Just cause 3, Civ 5 and a few others). The main issue is that my budget is limited for upgrades, and my case the Zalman Z11 supposedly can't fit many good coolers. Any help appreciated.
I neglected my CPU for 2 years, what can I do?

I would get some thermal paste, remove the cooler, clean out dust and old thermal paste and apply some fresh paste.
*Btw, please list system specs, mainly CPU and motherboard.
Zalman Z11 has 173mm max cooler height, that's enough for some very good coolers.

The CPU is an i5 4670 with a stock cooler, and the motherboard is an msi Z87 G45. I am thinking of just getting a cheap cooler and some thermal paste. Do I need to buy thermal paste remover?
The temperatures are around 100 degrees Celsius, so that would be 212 degrees Fahrenheit.
