Solution
Yes. Use 70%+ isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free material. Make sure to get rid of ALL of the old thermal paste, let it dry, then apply new thermal paste with the guide above.

People generally apply too much. The second biggest mistake is not cleaning off the old paste.

1. Clean the CPU until no thermal paste is left.
2. Add just enough new thermal paste to cover the top of the CPU, as if you were coloring it with a permanent marker.
