Hi, my brother's fan and heatsink on his computer recently died and he's been using a desk fan to keep it running ghetto style. So I was going to buy him a new fan and heatsink, but I've never replaced one before!
His computer is Socket A and kind of old, so I was just going to buy a cheaper one.
My question is, when I take his old one off, will I need to clean the old thermal paste or whatever was used off? Is there anything that I should or should *not* used to do this?
Anything else I should know?
