I have one question. After a sloppy, drippy over-use of AS, I re-did it (as you can see) with much better results. However, due to the nature of my HS, I am somewhat concerned as to wether leftover ArctiClean Remover/Purifier could be deposited between the heatpipes in the grooves. To prevent this I did the following:
1) 3 passes of Remover/Purifier using coffee filters.
2) 3 passes focusing on the grooves using q-tips.
3) One more pass using coffee filters.
4) One dry pass, using coffe filters and q-tips.
5) 5 minutes with a hair dryer pointed at the base of the heatsink.
6) I spread the AS using a vinyl, powderless surgical glove (pic #1)
7) I set the HS and fully screwed it in, then removed it to check the contact (pic #2)
Will these measures be enough to assure me that there is next to zero cleaning chemical in there? I really think this is a flaw of this cooler...
