What do you guys think is the average duration of a single application of Thermal Paste. I applied almost a year ago when i bought my Zalman CNPS9700 LED but recently i noticed that the temps were rising so i had to re-apply the thermal paste. Is 1 year a fare value or does that value decreases as the processor ages ???

You are absolutely right? actualy when i was facing those heat issues my mind went straight to putting Thermal Paste instead of focusing on the dust. Although i did a complete blow out of dust and saw great improvement in temps specially in load times.
Will be careful next time.
