Some sets develop cold joints naturally with time...They sometimes don't size the heat sinks big enough. The chips will run cooler than their max operating temp and will work fine, but will be hot enough to cause thermal stress to the solder and or bring it to the edge of melting...Not much you can do about it but open it once every few years of service and check on it.
