crap on cpu, how to clean?

[imported_Mike]

i have crap left over from a sh!tty dell heatsink thermal pad, i need to clean it off before i put on the as3

 

[Ionizer86]

Cotton swab and alkyhall

Or an alcohol wipe

 

[Boobers]

Use acetone to melt and remove the thermal pad, then use a pencil eraser to simply "erase" anything left behind...

 

[Kk4JC]

Alcohol is always safe... go for something harder if needed.

alcohol...or goo gone. Sometimes alcohol just doesn't cut it, especially with those putty-like pads.

I scaped my thermal pad off my HS with a razor blade...

You might want to use a solvent in addition to that...

Regular drugstore Isopropyl Alcohol is not pure and leaves a residue. Audio Tape head cleaner is better.

Now that Radio Shack has discontinued the Foam Swabs, now what the heck can I use that leaves no residue? Don't tell me Q-tips, they leave lint.

they will work, but they leave residue. i have some 97% swabs. but to remove the residue, you'll want something better.

Too late. I'm ghetto like that. Plus, the faster I kill this comp, the faster my parents give me the $$$ to upgrade.
