Two questions for you guys
1) I downloaded CPUID HW monitor to check the head of my graphics card and I'm not full sure how to read it:

The GPU usually sits around 40 degrees celcius while the other number (TMPIN0) sits around 65-75 for normal computer use, in game it goes as high as 86-88.
Should I be concerned about the temp?
2) I started looking into this because I took apart my ATI Radeon 5850 - I was reading on how to get better performance on a game and a forum thread talked about opening up the graphics card and completely cleaning out all the dust. I did that and noticed there was thermal paste... and that scared me.
A friend of mine said that I might be able to get away with just putting it back together, instead of cleaning off the old paste and redoing it. Is this running too hot now?
