Never replace before lol. Using CLP. Very hard to dry up for cpu. My old i5 4670k never dry up before. 2 years take out still moist.

Only gpu. Gpu dont dare put CLP. That one i change every 1 year.

Maybe every 6 months? If I see that it's quite and I don't feel lazy, I'll take it out to clean

I was wondering this same question the other day.

I think everyone will have a different timeframe, since we all have different dust levels in our homes depending on where we live, different chassis, different tolerance for dust, etc. I think I will be motivated to clean it if I notice above average temps, or it looks visibly dirty enough. Kinda like how I do with regular room fans. There's this point when you know it *must* be cleaned.

i know u are aiming me...
i dont really feel its not good, its not bad..

 

[localITguy]

i do not even touch my GPU, for me i never need to re-apply have good air flow to your case and keep your gpu cool can liao, besides by the time your gpu paste dry up its time to change new gpu le.

cpu i use MX4- never need to re-apply ever long lasting

 

[ondooy]

repaste every two months...lololol
