Hey, I'm going to change my HSF, and was wondering what would the process of cleaning up the TIM gunk off my Duron?

Carefully apply WD-40 (or it's equivalent) to the "gunk" and you'll easily wipe it right off.

tissue to wipe off gunk. than use q-tips and rubbing alcohol to get off residue.

yeah rubbing alcohol works...

The best I found is engine degreaser, use that then finish it off with iso-alcohol, alcohol by itself, isn't too great.

GS27 (the paint scratch remover) worked surprisingly well when I didn't have any wd40 with me.
