Artic Silver 3: general questions ?

I installed last week my brand new Volcano 7 with Artic Silver 3. I was told by my reseller that I should, once a month, wipe AS3 out and put a fresh layer of it on the cpu core because AS3 dries and temps might go up again.

Please, tell me if this is true, should I really reapply AS3 once a month ?
 
BTW: seems like temps have fallen by ~5°c... room temps being still quite hot (26-28°C) in the afternoon. Not stressing the cpu, it reaches 49°c after an hour or two.
 
I was told that Asus surestimate temps by ~10°C, true ?
 
Thanx for info on these matters !

When you first apply it it should take 1-2 days to fully sort itself out, and may give you a degree or so lower temps after those 1-2 days. But after that you should never need to reapply it.
