[SOLVED] Should I do a thermal repaste for a laptop that has been stored for approx 3 years ?

[knowledge2121]

I have a gaming laptop and a PS3 console that I bought new like 3 years ago, i have used them for like 2 hours in total during the past 3 years...Should I worry about re-pasting the CPU+GPU on them ?

Don't worry, paste deteriorates faster when heated up.

I would not tear anything down absent any evidence that the temps are above normal and degrading...

No.
This is no different than buying something "new", but that has been sitting on the shelf for a couple of years.
It will be fine.
