I recently send my motherboard for fixing so now i have to reapply the thermal paste so i can put my cpu back onto the motherboard. However when it came to removing the paste, i have no idea how to do it.
I search online and found that i had to buy the remover which costs like $20 here in my country, which i would like to avoid if possible. My friend then told me that i could use alcohol wipes to remove it (the kind you use to disinfect wounds) to remove it.
Is that method safe? will it damage the cpu or anything of that sort?
