How long does the thermal paste behind my CPU last?

Depending on the quality of paste and CPU, it can last from a few months to years.
Processor manufacturers recommend replacing thermal compounds every year or two for optimal performance. Some people believe that you should wait until there is an issue with your computer before spending money on replacement thermal compound. But just like with anything else we use, if we treat it well then it will serve us well. Otherwise, repeatedly and prematurely replacing parts can lead to additional future costs as those replaced parts eventually need replaced again! So why not take care of your processors now? Save yourself money down the line!
