i am selling my duron ( got a t-bird :) ) and i want to completely remove the artic silver but i can't get it all with tissue paper... it kinda spread around the slug, its only a tad bit but it would suck to sell it not clean...can i use something to help me get it off?

Dawn diswashing detergent "melts" it just fine... just make sure the chip is good and dry before you put it in a machine!
