Best way to clean this?

1.33ghz T-Bird

I tried cleaning the AS2 off around the die with 91% isopropyl, but it just smeared as you can see.

Anything else I can do? 😱

Goof off and a lense cleaner cloth?

i had one that looked like that. My best advice would be next time to clean it off more carefully....I learned my lesson and kept my next cpu clean 😉

if the die is clean what does it matter? That's the contact area where the heat transfer will be.

This is true.

Runs hot as fvck though, I put in a machine for my uncle on a K7S5A with one case fan (side) and an old Thermoengine heatsink with some AS2 and it was like ~80+C I don't wanna try and sell it since it's probably shot now, but oh well...😱

Use acetone.

Acetone is funny stuff, we were using it in a chem lab and talked to some grad students. It tends to bend the rules of "like dissolves like" and pretty much dissolves anything you let it touch.

He probably doesn't want to goof off while he cleans his CPU. He might damage it or something.
