Remove the heatsink, clean off the old thermal paste (it gets old and dry after a few years), and apply new paste like Artic MX-4.

Thermal paste is between your GPU and the heatsink. It gets dry over time and stops conducting heat as well.

I suggest you clean off the old paste and apply new paste.

Dust build up is also very likely a problem, would be a good time to clean all the dust out of the heatsink while you replace the paste.
