EXCEPT: If your temperatures are going high, and you've applied it the right way, then it may jsut be your HSF or something else in your computer.
Don't use the white "thermal paste" get Arctic Silver 5 or something, unless you just going to do simple things on your computer

For some reason you dont trust it take it off and apply some good thermal compond.
Use one of these to check your temps.

There is no set time for changing Paste. If you are using cheap stuff change it every few months, but if you are using something like AS5 let it go for about 12-18 months, unless you are having issues or if you remove your heat sink. I don't know what else to tell you, I looked on google and there is no standard replacement time frame.
Your best bet it to look up the brand thermal paste you are using and it should list how long the life span is. For example Thermalright recommends changing their past ever 12 months. So it really depends on the brand
