warmup is completely normal
40c without some heaving modding is idle temps
70-74c is 100% and imo considered good while playing gta. Gta is one of the most brutal games to ps3..
if you start climbing towards 78-80c then you should worry a lot. In which case, new thermal paste (arctic silver 5) will help bring that down.
You could change thermal paste now and maybe see a change, if you wanted to.
