High Temps on NUC

High Temps on NUC

I just got this NUC for $30. It’s got an 8th gen i7. Just didn’t have a hard drive. I installed a drive but it shuts down when doing anything other than web surfing. Warning sign comes up - system has recovered from an over temperature condition. Anyone have this issue before? Do I need to disassemble the whole thing to apply new thermal paste? I did go into BIOS and change the fan option to “Cooling”. Would appreciate any suggestions.
