First time opening up the graphics card, everything went well, until I saw the thermal paste that was applied on it. It was all over the pins of the GPU, and I decided to try and use non-acetone nail polish remover. It removed some of the paste, but I'm worried that I might have done a mistake using the polish. Sadly I didn't make sure what I can use to remove the thermal paste, before I started.
Ingredients: ethyl acetate, alcohol denat., aqua, capric triglyceride, parfum, octocrylene, butylmethoxydibenzoylmethane, linalool, limonene, ci 16035
I haven't attached a cooler to the graphics card yet, it's still opened, and I have swabbed the polish off with a dry Q-tip, but not all of it can be swapped off, as there is some left between the paste covered pins.
