Long story, but i have an amd phenom 2 x4 965 with thermal paste on the bottom. It is also on the motherboard socket, and it has been impossible to get off. I've tried to use 91% isopropyl alcohol to wipe the paste off, but with somewhat success. Most of the paste is gone, but the paste still there is hard and is, as stated above, impossible to get off. I've bathed the cpu in a isopropyl bath, which had no success over around 2 hours. The TIM is arctic platinum, and isnt conductive, so I don't think the motherboard or cpu are shorted.
Any help or alternative methods would be super helpful, as this would really suck if it didn't work. (Using a needle or coffee filter to rub it off is out of the question too, as i've tried that)
