I'm using an i7 3770k @ 4.0Ghz with a Coolermaster Hyper 212 Evo. I changed the thermal paste about a year ago. The idle temperatures are now around 31 C to 35 C while they used to be a bit lower. Should I change the thermal paste again or is it fine?

I wouldn't worry about your idle temps as much as I would about your load temps. Check those and see if they are high, above 75C, and then think about redoing it.
