Hey. Title says it all. I have some thermal paste remover and was wondering if I could apply it to an AMD stock heat sink/CPU fan to clean the old thermal paste? It's quite messy right now.

Thanks in advance.
 
Should be able to.

I just always use isopropyl alcohol and coffee filters. Cheaper that way :p.
 
I would hope somebody would have enough foresight to not use a USED coffee filter... lol.
 
I just use paint stripper or my sisters nail varnish remover. I know.. some people do not recommend using them for various reasons, but I have always found them to work great with no noticeable side effects.
