thermal paste removal

I use Acetone, works great.. get a q-tip, get it a little wet with the actone and just rub it, then have a paper towel handy and just wipe it off.

It might take a couple rounds of the above depending on how caked/baked on that paste is.
 
Use a q-tip to get the big stuff off. Then use a rubber eraser to take the rest off. Works like a charm.
 
Use at least 90% isopropyl alcohol. Don't use an eraser!
The eraser can leave micro particles that will negate the purpose of the thermal paste.
 
The folks at Artic Silver recommend using an eraser, but then they probably don't know much about thermal pastes.
 
Rubber yes, any other type of eraser would leave residue.
