What laptop chipset temperatures are acceptable?

Basically, I have a laptop. The other day I carried out maintenance (cleaning, replacing thermal paste, etc.), but the chipset heats up to 75 degrees (65 +/- in idle). By the way, an ASUS X54C laptop with a replaced i7 2670qm processor and a HM65 Express motherboard (chipset). I don’t know, maybe this is a normal temperature for this chipset (I googled - I didn’t find any datasheets or specifications indicating the workload temperature). Maybe someone knows specifically about this chipset or is aware of the current temperature standards in principle. But the mother of 2011, by the way, although the processor, for example, has a peak temperature of 100 C (now it works 55 - in idle time, 80 - under max load). For today's laptops, temperatures of 90 degrees are the norm, for the CPU it's exactly the same, but I don't know about chipsets, that's why I'm asking. Maybe I applied bad thermal paste or something. Before the service, I did not pay attention to the temperature of the chipset, but it was definitely 60 degrees (IN MY this is also a lot). Maybe the root of the problem is that the chipset with the heatsink does not have enough tight contact, because the heatsink is pressed (screwed) to the processor with screws, but it simply "lies" on the chipset (well, it is supposedly pressed by pressing the processor in the neighborhood, the heatsinks (CPU and chipset) on The chipset contact was apparently provided by a fairly thick thermal pad, of course I threw it away, pressed the thermal paste (not a whole bunch, which I later regretted), screwed the radiator, then decided to look at how they contact and there is no contact (pressed - it went away anyway), I had to unwind and pour a lot more (there is really a lot of space between the heat sink and the chipset).

Return the thermal pad. It's a pity that ASUS started to suffer the same as HP and Acer got burned.
Generally speaking, your cooling may not be able to cope with the power of a more powerful processor at all.
Thermal pads are sold, just google what they are, anyhow it won’t suit you, you need it with good thermal conductivity and a suitable thickness.
Well, the datasheet needs to look at a specific microcircuit in a specific package. Then it will be clear what temperature is normal.
