My Canned thermal paste Rant-
Thermal paste is good until it is not. most prefer to change the paste as a matter of maintenance. if your temps are stable there is no real reason to change the paste. it is a matter of preference. I suggest 18-24 months as a good interval.
the routine changing allows you time for a visual inspection (up close) of the board and the rest of the system.
-end canned rant

factory paste should be good for at least a further 20 months if its a year old.
