hi, Recently I cleaned my Noctua NH-D14 with a 90% industrial grade alcohol, it looked cleaner for a good 3 weeks but now the whole two massive heatsinks have gone a brown colour like how the bottom of a pot looks when it has been used over a flame, it looks absolutely horrible and I am really scared that it'll never look the same in my windowed case.

Please help!

The alcohol is to clean the old tim off the copper base. Not the aluminum fins.
