swaaye Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 It's probably a thermal wax. You definitely need more than alcohol to get the remains out of the heatsink's surface. I like "Oops", but plain acetone should work too (and it smells nicer, sorta.) Actually the best stuff for this is Artic Silver's Artic Clean. It smells like oranges and it will take any paste/pad/etc off easily. Expensive though, but lasts a long time. I used Oops for years before AS came out with their stuff, and wow I'm so happy they did. The noxious fumes out of cleaners is just not cool, especially cuz we do this work indoors.
