If there is even the slightest incentive I'm going to go ahead and replace the existing thermal pad. I just want to know which thermal paste is best used for the Wii U. Would not want to use a compound that could damage the system.

I have not ever heard a big epidemic of Wii U's overheating. But if it makes you feel more comfortable go for it. I've had mine since launch and I live in a warm state and no problems ever. Personally I believe "if it's not broken don't fix it" but everyone is different.
