RE-Installing CPU

B

I had to RMA my Intel DG965 MB, so I removed my E6600 C2D cpu and stock Intel HSF. The cpu was only on the MB for a day. Both the cpu and heatsink now have a thin layer of the original compound.

When the replacement mb arrives, can I just reinstall the cpu and HSF, or do I need to clean off the thermal compound and reapply new thermal compound?

CPU: C2D E6600
MB: Intel DG965
Stock Heatsink and fan
 

while you could likely get away with what is on there...I would advise you to clean it off and apply new thermal grease
 
Thanks. I guess I should play it safe and reapply thermal compound. I would plan to buy some Arctic Silver.

But what do I use to get the orginal thermal compound off?

Thanks for your help.
