I bought this laptop long time ago , in june 2011 and I've never changed the paste , only used the vacuum on the cooler to clean it from time to time from dust , these are the temps I get now, 79C in flash browser games and while browsing temps are 45-55C at 21C ambient temp. That's the cpu temp , the gpu is much lower , 32-max 50C.
I don't use this laptop for games, I have a desktop for that , I'm using it only for browsing and stuff. I've seen a video how to disassemble this entire laptop model acer aspire 5741g and it looks scary, too many things to unscrew and remove and you have to be careful.
It lasted 5 years without any problems and it still working pretty good for browsing. My question is , should I risk it and open it to change the paste or leave it like this?
