On my system monitor my laptop idles at 80+ degrees celsius

EDIT: strangely enough, it has a similar temperature on high load

EDIT2: Yes I think I will order thermal paste

if it blows hot air, that means it successfully transfers heat off the cpu, so the blame is not entirely on the thermal paste (you should probably still change it though). clean the sink and the air intakes, laptops insides easily get tightly packed with dust.
