The CPU Chip & Cooling device from old motherboard have thermal paste which looks okay.
Should I use as is?
Should I clean both surfaces & apply new thermal paste?

Gday Gouverneur.
Yes. Reusing the old paste would result in air gaps being left, poor heat transfer and overheating.
Use a kit like this, > http://www.newegg.co...N82E16835100010
