I probably should have mentioned it is an AthlonXP 2000+ It has the retail
fan on it, and I removed the fan while upgrading my MB. I used thermal
grease to reinstall it, but put on too much and it has flowed onto the
processor. The processor is running at 51 deg C, so it's working. But I'm
thinking about taking it apart again, cleaning it up and reapplying the
compound.

Another thought is to upgrade my cooling fan. Any suggestions?

TIA,,,

I use rubbing alcohol. Works great!

Sandpaper. Jk.

I'd recommend a smooth cloth. Damp the tip with water and rub gently.

And if there's a woman in the house, you probably have some.
Good ol' nail polish remover.

Fuming nitric acid. It comes up *real* clean after a that.
