Change thermal paste? If the case which choose and how to apply it?

Hi, i have my ps3 super slim for 4 years and a half, and i was wondering if i should change the thermal paste, the console works perfect maybe makes a different loud noise when i play the campaigns of CoD games but maybe is just myself.

But, in the case i should change the paste, which one i should buy? i readed it must be non conductive, which one are those? Maybe Arctic Silver 5 but i readed in their site that is slightly conductive http://www.arcticsilver.com/as5.htm or Arctic mx-4? which thermal paste is the best for a ps3 super slim?

Thanks in advance.

Yeah i know but i mean, maybe just to avoid problems with the console in the future? I mean maybe is overheating a little right now(idk) just to avoid the "overheating" alert ?(never get one of those.

@elvistekencio OK blow it out with canned air to get rid of the roaches, but leave it alone. Go find something that's actually broken and try to fix it.
