I have an XP 2200 in a normal ATX box with no extra fans.  I have to
change thermal paste about once a year.  Even so, I monitor the
temperature closely in the summertime and increase fan speed whenever
necessary.  So there is a chance that your cooler simply needs fresh
thermal paste after 3 years.
