I removed the heatsink from my Asus A7N8X-D because I want to replace it with a Vantec Iceberq copper fan. I had to use a hairdryer to get the damn thing off but I'm left with a sticky residue from the thermal tape. I used a hairdryer to remove most of it then followed up with isopropyl alcohol to clean up the remaining gunk. Unfortunately I still have a thin haze on the chip that I can't seem to remove. Does anyone have any ideas? Also I inavertently got some of it on the board in a tight area. I removed most of it but there's still some left. Will that hurt anything? It's just thermal comopound but I want to be sure before I hook it up again.
