Do I have to clean the cpu with isopropyl/rubbing alcohol before applying thermal paste ?, and for how long do 5ml of thermal paste last for ?

Thank you for your time.

if you are cleaning off old thermal paste, yes. if its a new cpu, and you didnt touch it, no.

yes 100% alcohol is the best because it evaporate faster. but im sure you can use any %. plenty of videos on youtube.

Hello... Yes... clean the cpu with it and let it dry... if you have it on hand.
Metal to metal contact is the best with a heatsink.... just apply a thin film with your finger to both the CPU and heatsink... don't use the whole tube.
