Unless your fans are running louder than they were in the past, I wouldn't worry about it.
Of course, my CECH-A01 model actually DID overheat and YLoD on me about three years ago, but given the amount of debris that blew out of the console the first time I cleaned it after literally thousands of hours of runtime, in retrospect, that really should have come as no surprise.
When I finally sent it in to SCE for a refurb, the first thing I did when I got it back was replace the thermal paste with a higher quality TIM (AS5) and in the three years since, the fans have never run above medium settings.
I should add that I break the console down and clean it out every year just like my PCs.
