I took the heatsink off my cpu. This is the first time I've done this, so I don't know what to do about the hardened thermal paste on and around my cpu. Do I scratch it off with my finger or with a toothpick or somthing? Can I put alcohol on my cpu?
Another question: I have a tube of AS5, is that all I need? I noticed that my cpu has dried grey stuff and wet white stuff on it, is there somthing else I have to put on besides thermal paste? As you can tell I am a complete noob when I comes to installing cpus.
