I just removed the HS from my ATI 9800 Pro.They used some silver based compund on the GPU(at least it was silver colored,so I am assuming its silver based). Anyway,I was using nail polish remover and q-tips to try to remove the compound....but all it did was smear all over the entire GPU.Do I need to clean this off,or will the card be safe if I dont? I am just wondering because there are circuits on the top of the GPU...and I didnt know if leaving the compound would destroy them because the compund would act as a conductor and do something to hurt my card.Thanks!
