I received and kept a PS2 Slim 90000 and noticed that there is a bit of thermal paste between the metal plate and the thermal pad. Is it necessary to remove this white thermal paste because it damages the stored console or can I keep the console with this thermal paste without problems indefinitely, I turn on the console once a year for 1 hour?
in my case, the sequence CPU/thermal pad/thermal paste/metal
If I keep the thermal paste and never change it in the future, dry or liquid paste, will the PS2 Slim 90000 have heating problems because of the paste? I turn on the console once a year for 1 hour

thermal paste on top of a thermal pad and on top of the paste a heat-dissipating metal plate, will the thermal paste greatly impair the heat transfer between the thermal pad and the metal plate? I got a used PS2 Slim 90000 and they applied some of this paste to the area I mentioned[br]

Does thermal paste have an expiration date even when applied to an electronic device that will be powered once a year for 1 hour?

If someone put thermal paste between the thermal pad and the metal plate of a device's processor, will this white thermal paste cause a lot of heat and greatly impair dissipation? Example: EE/GS chip from the PS2 Slim[br]

Can the white thermal paste on top of the thermal pad transfer the heat from the thermal pad to the metal plate?[br]
