I have had my computer for about a year and its running fine, the temperature of the CPU has gone up since when i got my computer. I know this is supposed to happen, but I was just wondering if you are supposed to apply new thermal paste to your CPU, and if so how often you should do this. Thanks

Jump to Postgenerally new paste is a bad idea as old paste is better as it is "bedded in" - so long as the CPU temp is 50-70 degrees centigrade then its ok
