Nonsense, every drugstore should carry it. Ask for it by it's generic name "Rubbing Alcohol".

I always smooth a almost microscopic (well not really) layer over the cpu with a plastic toothpick as it rests in the socket. Isn't that the right way. Too much grease is always worse heat transfer wise than direct contact with the heatsync.

I think what happenned here was that the CPU was a horny dog found a bitch cpu socket. Soon you will have a dozen of cpu puppies. Now isnt that nice?
